An Evening with David Sedaris
November 15, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$32.50 – $57.50With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. He is the master of satire and one of today’s most observant writers addressing the human condition.
His new essay collection, Calypso, entered the New York Times Best Sellers List at No.1. Described as beach reading for people who detest beaches, and required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke, Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris’s darkest and warmest book yet–and it just might be his very best.
Beloved for his personal essays and short stories, David Sedaris is the author of Barrel Fever, Holidays on Ice, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls, and Theft By Finding: Diaries (1977-2002). He is the author of Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary, a collection of fables with illustrations by Ian Falconer. Each of these books was an immediate bestseller. He was also the editor of Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules: An Anthology of Outstanding Stories.
