...such best-selling essay collections as Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Sedaris has engaged readers with tales of his North Carolina family and assorted odd jobs. In his latest book, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, he covers everything from attending his brother's wedding to selling drinks at a state fair. TIME's Josh Tyrangiel caught up with him at his Paris home...

But I’m beginning to think that at an affluent college like Harvard, where designer denim is de rigeur, the very notion of financial independence that Donahue seems to be invoking could only ever be an idealistic one. Here, the self-sustaining student who is bereft of parental bailouts remains very much in a minority, while the rest of us buy up big online and worry about which...
