When you're as perceptive and curious as Sedaris, there's no such thing as a dull moment or a boring day. This book of diary entries shows a rare and personal insight into the mind of this unique and modern observer. You soon learn Sedaris is a man for whom adventure waits around every corner.
The Cover of Sedaris' Latest Book
Sedaris' style of humour is very autobiographical and often self-deprecating. His career really took off in the early 1990s on radio in the US, with his first collection of essays and short stories,
Barrel Fever, published in 1994. He also penned the revered book
Holidays on Ice, as well as collections of personal essays including
Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, When You Are Engulfed in Flames and
Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls. He's also been a regular contributor to well-respected publication,
The New Yorker.
An Evening with David Sedaris is guaranteed to be full of laugh-out-loud moments. His 'funny because they're true' observations will have you guffawing as much as you think. His intellectually stimulating discussions burst with acerbic wit and biting social critiques. Don't miss your chance to spend an evening with one of the world's pre-eminent humorists.
