"Dentist without orders" is considered creative non fiction because it is a true story explaining a visit to the dentist but with a fun twist to it. He describes in detail his experience at the dentist, and he has a good way of connecting with his audience. The writing is very easy to understand and he paints a scene for the audience, helping them imagine exactly what its like. This piece of writing could be described as an essay of place. He writes this from his point of view and refers to doctor visits over time. I think its great how even the audience that has not been to a doctor in France can still understand and capture his experience.

  1. "Dentists without Borders" definitely had a fun twist. Usually the thought of visiting the dentist makes me what to puke with anxiety. Sedaris's essay, though, somehow makes imagining a dentist's office fun and entertaining. CNF at its finest.
