David Sedaris
November 27, 2012
UA Centennial Hall

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. Sedaris is the author of the 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. Sedaris’s pieces appear regularly in The New Yorker and have twice been included in “The Best American Essays.” His newest book, a collection of fables entitled Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary (with illustrations by Ian Falconer), was released in 2010. This one-night-only event features all-new readings of his work and a book signing.

Following the reading, Mr. Sedaris will be available in the Centennial Hall lobby to sign copies of his books.

Copies of the author's published works will be available for sale courtesy of University of Arizona BookStores

“Sedaris’s droll assessment of the mundane and the eccentrics who inhabit the world’s crevices makes him one of the greatest humorists writing today.” -Chicago Tribune

“Sedaris ain’t the preeminent humorist of his generation by accident.” -Entertainment Weekly
