2. Love on the Spectrum
Another story from the Sedaris canon. Today, a long drive home gives David the chance to think - and try fast food.
"The first thing to do was find a nearby hotel. All the choices were bad, but there’s make-your-own-waffles bad and what-are-these-bites-on-my-stomach?-bad, so I called the nearest make-your-own-waffles place."
A long drive south from Bangor, Maine to New York City gives David the chance to think, ask questions, try fast food and fantasise - all in the company of his long-suffering boyfriend, Hugh and their new, Chinese friend Susan Du. This week's story, Love on the Spectrum, like many of David's essays comes straight from the pages of The New Yorker magazine with his unique delivery bringing the words and ideas to glittering life.
