Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is a 2004 collection of 22 autobiographical essays by American humorist David Sedaris. The essays address the author's upbringing in Raleigh, North Carolina, his relationships with family members, and his work and life in New York City and France.
The following is a list of the essays in Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, with brief notes about their contents:
At the time of publication, there was considerable fan speculation as to the origin of the book's title. During an October 12, 2010 public appearance in Cleveland, Ohio, Sedaris said he was under a deadline for a title and was getting a little desperate when his boyfriend Hugh had a dream in which he saw someone reading a book entitled, in French, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. Sedaris then knew that he had his title, even though it had nothing to do with the contents of his own book.
The book was released on audio CD, with Sedaris reading, from Time Warner Audiobooks.
