David Sedaris

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. His essays appear regularly in Esquire and The New Yorker; he has authored multiple bestselling books; and his original radio pieces can often be heard on Public Radio's This American Life. The audio version of his collection of essays, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, was recently nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Spoken Word category.
