With sardonic wit and
incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America’s
pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through
cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master
of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition
today.
David Sedaris is the
author of Barrel Fever and Holidays on Ice, as well as collections of personal
essays, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim,
When You Are Engulfed in Flames, and his most recent book, Let’s Explore
Diabetes with Owls, each of which became an immediate bestseller. The
audio version of Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls is a 56th Annual GRAMMY
Awards Nominee for Best Spoken Word Album. He is the author of the
NYT-bestselling collection of fables entitled Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest
Bestiary (with illustrations by Ian Falconer). He was also the editor of
Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules: An Anthology of Outstanding
Stories. Sedaris’ pieces appear regularly in The New Yorker and have twice been
included in “The Best American Essays.” There are over ten million copies
of his books in print and they have been translated into 25 languages.
