David Sedaris

International bestselling author David Sedaris reads from unpublished work – which could include stories in progress and journal entries, as well as recent New Yorker pieces – mixed with his inimitable commentary on the world.

An audience Q&A will follow and at the end of the event there will be a book signing in the lobby. With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. Sedaris is the author 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, and When You Are Engulfed in Flames, each of which became a bestseller. His newest book, a collection of fables entitled Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary (with illustrations by Ian Falconer), was published in September 2010 and immediately hit the NYT Bestseller Fiction List. His next book is entitled Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls and will be published late spring 2013.
