"True art was based upon despair, and the important thing was to make yourself and those around you as miserable as possible. (...) Unfortunately, the school had no accredited sulking program and I dropped out, more despondent than ever."

finished: introduction to the 2013 version (originally published in 2000)
I normally skip introductions. With old books, they tend to be "spoilers", and if it's an introduction by someone who isn't the author, I frankly 🤷duncur
But this one is by Sedaris himself and already had me choking on my spit on page two, so I'm hopeful the book will have retained its charm over the years wohoo
