Beloved humorist and perennial New York Times best-seller David Sedaris has been bringing his signature self-deprecation to both the page and the stage ever since his comic debut in the late-'70s. Sedaris's live shows are equal parts touching and uproarious, taking his childhood trials and tribulations as a starting point and going on to tackle everything from his eccentric family to American politics. Fans of witty, irony-laden anecdotes are in for a treat as Sedaris hits concert halls around the country with his latest show An Evening with David Sedaris.
~~~~~~~~
David Sedaris is a genre unto himself. For nearly 30 years, his reliably hilarious, often confessional, sometimes heartbreaking, and always totally unique take on the human condition has found expression in stories that open our eyes to all that is absurd and moving about our daily existence.
"The genius of The Best of Me is that it reveals the growth of a writer, a sense of how his outlook has changed and where he finds humor.... It is miraculous to read these pieces placed close together, the earliest written without any knowledge of where things would lead, the last guffawing at the ridiculousness of where they did" (The New York Times Book Review).
