I Shudder and Other Reactions to Life, Death, and New Jersey by Paul Rudnick

This guy seems really annoying. Most of the anecdote sections this was mostly funny, but I can’t imagine what kind of person would write the Vionnet sections and include them in their memoir? Weird to include fictional “essays” in your memoir, but I assume that would be because it somehow reflects your view of yourself, or is at least a situation that you imagined and felt would further a readers conception of who you are. And the person who sees themself as Vionnet, if they could tell any story to reflect on themselves without even really having to live through it, I just simply don’t understand. I ended up skipping the Vionnet sections after I was halfway into the third one and just was confused and not having a good time.
