"Sedaris's sidesplitting guide to throwing parties hopes to return readers to the times when the word "entertainment" was "charmingly old-fashioned, like courtship or back alley abortions." - PW.
"[A] wild and irreverent guide" - Library Journal.
"[Sedaris] charms, seduces, entertains, instructs, amuses, and just plain invites readers into her somewhat eclectic life... everyone can simply enjoy her wisdom-filled one-liners, with at least one appearing on every page." - Booklist.
