The hardest left from Sedaris imaginable. It's always a delight to see the Orthodox Faith represented so well and fully. The childbirth chapter is one of the most knife's-edge, brutal passages I've ever read. The mixing of vernaculars is inspired. I'm waiting for this book to get weird again: stuff like Cristofer witnessing the next six hundred years of history of his new home, Arseny seeing himself in the fire, etc.
