4Quotation

== This quotation exemplifies the nature of Sedaris’ work because his writing is autobiographical. He keeps a diary and has for many, many years. He did not become a successful writer until later in his life and he writes about the odd jobs he worked for years before becoming famous. Cleaning houses was one of these jobs. Sedaris is an excellent writer; there is no doubt, but he is also a real person who sometimes scrubs toilets. This makes him more accessible as an author because at some point, we must all clean up the toilet. This is where he gets much of his material and he is known for being honest, even detrimentally so. He shares his deep dark secrets with the world, a brave enterprise and this quotation acts as a warning label to the reader. Remember, if it’s subversive, it’s probably worth reading. ==
