Our Perfect Summer

There is a new David Sedaris essay called Our Perfect Summer in the New Yorker this week. He’s normally a humorous guy, but this piece is kind of serious, and very good. Packs a couple of punches. The one that got me most was this:

She acted annoyed, but we could tell she was really enjoying it. “Give me something that suits us,” she said. “Give me something that will last.”

What would ultimately last were these fifteen minutes on the coastal highway, but we didn’t know that then.

and how it continues (I won’t spoil it here). Read it.
