Willkommen in der komischen, schrägen, melancholischen, haarsträubenden Welt des David Sedaris. Sedaris packt die gegenwärtige Autobiographiemode beim sprichwörtlichen Schlafittchen und erklärt das weite Feld seines Lebens, seiner Familie und seiner eigenwilligen Weltsicht zum Minengebiet. Eine bärbeißige Mutter ahmt bühnenreif die nervösen Tics ihres Sohnes nach, sehr zur Belustigung seiner Lehrer; ausgedehnte Ferientouren werden per Autostopp absolviert, nicht ohne die behinderte Freundin im Rollstuhl, selbstverständlich; die Familie bläst zum Hochzeitsfest im Angesicht eines nahenden Todes - in all diesen Geschichten hören wir die unverwechselbare Stimme von David Sedaris, die ohne Zweifel eine der erfrischendsten des heutigen Amerika ist.

David Raymond Sedaris is an American humorist, comedian, author, and radio contributor. He was publicly recognized in 1992 when National Public Radio broadcast his essay "Santaland Diaries". He published his first collection of essays and short stories, Barrel Fever, in 1994. His next book, Naked (1997), became his first of a series of New York Times Bestsellers, and his 2000 collection Me Talk Pretty One Day won the Thurber Prize for American Humor.
Much of Sedaris's humor is autobiographical and self-deprecating and often concerns his family life, his middle-class upbringing in the suburbs of Raleigh, North Carolina, his Greek heritage, homosexuality, jobs, education, drug use, and obsessive behaviors, as well as his life in France, London, New York, and the South Downs in England. He is the brother and writing collaborator of actress Amy Sedaris.
In 2019, Sedaris was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
