David Sedaris

One of America’s premier humorists, David Sedaris (b. 1956) is a playwright, essayist, and frequent contributor to National Public Radio. Five of his essay collections have been best sellers, including Naked (1997), Holidays on Ice (1997), Me Talk Pretty One Day (2000), Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim (2004), and When You Are Engulfed in Flames (2008). His most recent book is Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary (2010), a collection of humorous short stories. Sedaris has been nominated for three Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album. Much of his satiric humor is autobiographical and self-effacing as he points out the foolishness and foibles of the human condition.
