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 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. There are a
total of seven million copies of his books in print and they have been
translated into 25 languages. He was the editor of Children
Playing Before a Statue of Hercules: An Anthology of Outstanding Stories.
Sedaris’s pieces appear regularly in The New Yorker and have twice been
included in “The Best American Essays.” His newest book, Fables (with
illustrations by Ian Falconer) is due fall 2010.
He and his sister, Amy Sedaris, have collaborated under the name “The Talent Family” and have written half-a-dozen plays which have been produced at La Mama, Lincoln Center, and The Drama Department in New York City. These plays include Stump the Host, Stitches, One Woman Shoe, which received an Obie Award, Incident at Cobbler’s Knob, and The Book of Liz, which was published in book form by Dramatists Play Service. David Sedaris’s original radio pieces can often be heard on This American Life, distributed nationally by Public Radio International and produced by WBEZ. David Sedaris has been nominated for three Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album. His most recent live album is David Sedaris: Live For Your Listening Pleasure (November 2009).
