DAVID SEDARIS
FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2022 8PM
With his sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, Sedaris is like a modern-day Mark Twain, drawing humorous, touching, and universal observations about human nature from his own quirky experiences.
David Sedaris is one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. He is a master of satire and one of today’s most observant writers. While beloved for his personal essays and short stories, Sedaris has also been nominated for five Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album. There are over 16 million copies of his books in print and they have been translated into 32 languages. In March 2019 he was elected as a member into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2020 the New York Public Library voted Me Talk Pretty One Day one of the 125 most important books of the last 125 years.
Sedaris’s droll assessment of the mundane and the eccentrics who inhabit the world’s crevices make him one of the greatest humorists writing today.
