Let's explore diabetes with owls Cover Image Book

Let's explore diabetes with owls / David Sedaris.

Let us explore diabetes with owls (other title)
Sedaris, David. (Author).

Summary:

From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences. Whether railing against the habits of litterers in the English countryside or marveling over a disembodied human arm in a taxidermist's shop, Sedaris takes us on side-splitting adventures that are not to be forgotten.
