David Sedaris divides his time between London and Sussex. Raised in North Carolina, he has worked as a housecleaner and most famously, as a part-time elf for Macy's. Several of his plays have been produced, and he is a regular contributor to Esquire and Public Radio International's 'This American Life'.
A dazzling collection
*Mail on Sunday*
A dazzling collection
*Mail on Sunday*
Romantic, shocking and punctuated with the kind of funnies that, if
you're reading while eating, make you snort food through your
nose
*Independent*
There are lines that go off like firecrackers, storing up their
hilarity until the last moment, and there are the one he lobs like
little grenades amid the chaos and merriment
*Guardian*
There are sudden moments of honest, revelation and frailty . . .
Long may he write and long may the 'Indefinite Leave' sticker
remain in the once stolen and now returned passport of this
honorary Briton
*Telegraph*
Brilliantly clever, inventive and funny
*Guardian*
Treat yourself to this sparkling collection of essays . . . You'll
gurgle with laughter or cringe in recognition of uncomfortable
truths. Sedaris . . . can identify with almost any absurd situation
and wring the last drop of wit from it, but he is also the master
of elegantly crafted sentences that simultaneously convey
vulnerability, compassion, cruelty and glee . . . polished to
perfection
*Daily Mail*
Thoughtful, witty, excitable, world-weary, romantic, fastidious . .
. creating waves of sympathy and wry humour, as though a rather
amazing stranger is addressing you and you alone
*Financial Times*
Biting, intimate anecdotes from America's finest humorist
*Daily Telegraph*
Consistently laugh-out-loud funny, Sedaris' pieces are
self-obsessed, shocking, wonderfully sustained and closely observed
. . . What can happen to anybody becomes darkly hilarious with
Sedaris
*Independent*
