How very Harvey Pekar. I'd buy that . . . probably. Thanks, Charlie, for the comment. Maybe I should trust the public more. Pop-Up CNF!? How very Harvey Pekar. I’d buy that . . . probably.

If you compare David Sedaris' work with that of his sister, Amy, you can obviously see they go a different route for their comedy. Each of these terms has their own connotations, negative and positive, but it's ultimately up to the critical thinker and the public at large to determine who is what. When I have enough material to write more than just an article, perhaps that novel-sized pop-up book idea I've been kicking around, I'll let you know. Then maybe I could put "Creative Non-Fiction Writer" on my CV. Such is the nature of parody.
