Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris Book Summary

Featuring David Sedaris's unique blend of hilarity and heart, this new collection of keen-eyed animal-themed tales is an utter delight. Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of everyday life.

In "The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck," three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In "Hello Kitty," a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In "The Squirrel and the Chipmunk," a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members.

With original illustrations by Ian Falconer, author of the bestselling Olivia series of children's books, these stories are David Sedaris at his most observant, poignant, and surprising.

Squirell Seeks Chipmunk. It's so exciting that Sadaris has a new book. And this is incredibly clever. His snarky dialogue is conveyed through a cast of animals. Witty and Dark. Loved it! More MORE MORE!!!!

Bob. Goof

Entertaining the entire read.. This was such a great book. I don't know where he comes up with this stuff but I love it. The stories were varied, entertaining, and sometimes really made you think. Couldn't recommend more.

Probably the last Sedaris book I'll buy.. I really used to enjoy reading David Sedaris. His writing was funny and poignant at the same time. I began to raise my eyebrows with his last book, I just didn't find any of it funny. This 21st century take on Aesop's fables is, at times, mildly amusing and to me makes no points other than the obvious ones and does so without recognizable humor.

Just ok. Not his best work. Some clever and funny. Some disturbingly dark.

I love David Sedaris but.... I love David Sedaris but this is the worst book I've ever tried to read. I forced myself to read about half of the stories in this collection of shock tales thinking I was going to 'get it' soon. Nope. Why write a book of stories that made animals look worse than people in one horrific crapload of nonsense and cruel intent after another. Now I'm scared to read his next one even though I totally loved all the ones before this. So horrible.

So funny. David is able to zero in on human nature by using animals and the result is pure hilarity!!! Poignant, satisfying satire, that turns the mirror onto society.

Interesting. This is really a great take on the fables I used to read as a child. I actually did laugh quite a bit while reading this. It was also a quick read, which can be nice after a long day at work.

Different but still cool. This latest book from one of my all time favorite authors is a little different from his others, but it's still a great read. For any skeptics, I say, "Let an artist be an artist and create freely." If you insist on them creating the same work over and over, you prevent them from crafting something that may blow you away in an entirely new way. Amy and David are true artists and continue to blow me away with new and inventive projects.

It was ok. This is the first time I ever read anything by this author and I have to say it was good, would I buy another book by him...um... I would really need to think about

Short But Enjoyable. While the book is a bit slight for the price, I found each of the stories to be quite entertaining and in some cases fairly compelling. Sort of a modern version of Aesop's fables.

Hilarious. Adult guilty pleasures

Do Not Bother - Worse Book Ever. I'm a huge David S. fan but have to say that this is garbage that I've ever read. NO publisher would print this book if it hadn't come from an established author with the knowledge fans of previous works would pick it up. The stories are disturbing for no point and not one laugh to be had. This is the stuff that a ten year old tells during sleep over while picking their nose.

Let down. I love David Sedaris. I have read all his books and even seen him live. I waited 2 hours just to meet him. That said, I was very excited about his new book. I thought his new style would be a fun change. I was so wrong. Yes, there were a couple cute stories about sassy animals and their lives. But then it took a scary, sad turn. Some of these stories are just gruesome and disturbing. Skip this book and do not tarnish your love for David Sedaris.

Ehhh. The beginning of this book was awesome bit torwards the middle of it, it just gets really weird. I'd lower the price alittle

Funniest book ever!. I loved listening to this book. And I actually have listened mulitple times. I can't wait to try more of his writing.

Hysterical and moving. Sedaris does it again with his witty truthful humor!

When Aesop snapped. This was a particularly good find. As one who doesn't hunker down with a huge novel all the time, but starts and restarts a couple, I found Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk to be perfect. Perhaps it was the use of animals as mouthpieces that made me think of it, but there are some definite fable qualities in these stories. However, through Mr Sedaris, we get the manifestation of a (though still Greek), a modern day storyteller who calls'em as her sees'em. Of course, as with any David Sedaris book because of his history with NPR I found myself hearing his voice as I read, which added to the engagement with the book. These stories of arrogance, phobia, ignorance, jealousy, pity and vanity, to name a few of humanity's not-so-endearing traits, are brought to light when coming from an entirely different species, genus, family or kingdom...but smoking, drinking and swearing like my Aunt Edith. It's like rolling your eyes after each time hearing your mother drone over and over, "your gonna poke your eye out with that thing!" and then finding that the mother used to poke people's eyes out as a wild teenager. There's a shadow to these stories, and Mr Sedaris allows us a glimpse at that shadow, because there's a collective unconscious to the human condition that he's able to connect us to through the use of hens, pigs, gerbils and cats. I didn't want the stories to end, and yet while reading them, my internal voice would continually mumble, "oh...my...god. Doesn't anyone get to experience and enjoy a little blissful ignorance?". But then, if the did, I would have felt cheated and patronized, and wouldn't have finished it...like the three other novels on my bedside table.

Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk. Aesop's fables meet David Sedaris. Life lessons told through the eyes of barnyard animals, imprisoned felines, naive mice, and a wise old owl. I appreciate this new turn on Sedaris's writing and hope it continues. The illustrations are beautifully drawn and enhance the stories and captivate the reader. I would say this is a must read for people who want a laugh and enjoy fables through the eyes of explicit animals.

What a waste of time!. I am a huge fan of David Sedaris books and look forward to each one I have purchased. This one however was a total waste of time! The concept sounded cute...stories written from the perspective of animals. Most of the stories made no sense (a cat in rehab with a bully mouse?) or were just repulsive (singing leeches in a hippos rectum?). What a huge disappointment!!!! Save your money!!!

Wonderful. Most of the bad reviews are from people hoping for Sedaris' usual work, but their inability to open up to this book is very sad. This collection of stories can only be described as existential Aesop, with hilarious and heart-breaking charm of which Sedaris is the master. The Judicious Brown Hen is the most memorable and arguably the most important story in this work. Please don't be turned away by the bad reviews. No, this is not memoir, but it's an evolution of Sedaris that I welcome with open arms.

I'll rethink my next DS purchase.. Such a disturbing disappointment.
