Have you ever read E.M. Forster? You might like his 'Howards End,' which experiments with narrative structure and characterization without falling into too much pessimism.

I haven't really read any of Sedaris' critics. Perhaps I should. As for other authors I write like, it's kind of weird but I feel uncomfortable saying. I don't want to appear self-absorbed :).
I would like to write, in a redemptive way, like Sedaris, Palahniuk, Roth and Toni Morrison. I also like Max Lucado and Erma Bombeck :).
I love telling stories. I know each of the above authors can be very different but ... I don't understand it either.
I am no where near ready or as good, but I love the way the above authors think out of the box.

Well, Sedaris does have the reputation, among his critics at least, as being a bit self-absorbed and bitter. Who are the other authors that you 'tend to write like?'
