About this listen

 HOLIDAYS ON ICE collects six of David Sedaris's most profound Christmas stories into one slender volume, perfect for use as a last-minute coaster or ice scraper. This drinking man's companion can be enjoyed by the warmth of a raging fire, the glow of a brilliantly decorated tree, or even in the backseat of a van or police car.©1997 David Sedaris Entertainment & Celebrities United States World Literature Winter Christmas Funny Witty Comedy

Although funny in parts, the sour taste left in the mouth due to casual racism shows how this work has dated.

Would you try another book written by David Sedaris or narrated by the narrators?

Yes - provided it was more up to date b

Who was your favorite character and why?

Not really relevant - but I enjoyed the Santas Elf stories best in the collection.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I didn't get that wonderful wry cynicism that I've heard in David Sedaris' radio broadcasts, so I was really disappointed at this. I wonder if it the audience that I miss - as when there was a live performance I enjoyed that much more.

Did Holidays on Ice inspire you to do anything?

Possibly to avoid a job as Santas little helper?

Any additional comments?

I do have difficulty with short stories as a form. I nearly always find them less satisfying than a novel. But as collections go, this is ok.

I love listening to David Sedaris read his work, but would rather not have to listen to the cheap-sounding ‘lift’ music in the background.

It’s like listening to someone you know who just makes you laugh while you’re also raising an eyebrow

yep, this is definitely as expected, love his (different from mine) view of the world. plus the fact he says things to people that I wouldn't have the courage to say.
