"Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary" By David Sedaris

"Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary" is a collection of short stories in which animals play all roles. This book was a delightful social satire. I always enjoy reading David Sedaris and this work deviated from what I've become accustomed to from his books. Instead of a series of personal anecdotes, we find pieces built around one animal or another as they face some occasion. In one, we have an ewe who meets a crow. In another we have a compensating guard of a gate. I loved this book because the chapters were short and could be read in any order over any amount of time. Of course I will read more Sedaris.
