Sedariss essays on living in Paris are some of the funniest hes ever written. Sedaris is an amazing reader whose appearances draw hundreds, and his performancesincluding a jaw-dropping impression of Billie Holiday singing I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weinerare unforgettable.
Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, Sedaris has become one of our best-loved authors. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers and cashiers with 6-inch fingernails. You Cant Kill the Rooster is a portrait of his brother who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. His recent move to Paris has inspired hilarious pieces, including Me Talk Pretty One Day, about his attempts to learn French. A new collection from David Sedaris is cause for jubilation.
