David Sedaris reading - A digital recording of the March 5, 2001 event where Sedaris read from recent and very new work and answered questions. David Sedaris interview/conversation - A recording of the March 6, 2001 audiocast of the interview and conversation with David Sedaris, moderated by Al Filreis , Faculty Director of the Kelly Writers House. David Sedaris is the author of Barrel Fever Naked Holidays on Ice , and most recently of Me Talk Pretty One Day , and is a regular contributor to Public Radio International's "This American Life." Sedaris made his comic debut recounting his reading his "SantaLand Diaries" on National Public Radio's Morning Edition . Sedaris' sardonic humor and social critique have since made him one of NPR's most popular commentators. At the end of each of these commentaries, Sedaris was identified as an apartment cleaner in New York City. But Sedaris isn't "just a working Joe who happens to put out these perfectly constructed pieces of prose," as Ira Glass has put it. The great skill with which Sedaris sliches through euphemisms shows that he is becoming a master of satire. Sedaris and his sister, Amy Sedaris, have collaborated under the name The Talent Family and written several several plays which have been produced at La Mama and at Lincoln Center in New York City. These plays include Stump the Host Stitches One Woman Shoe , which received an Obie Award, and Incident at Cobbler's Knob . Sedaris has taught writing at the Art Institute of Chicago, and his essays appear regularly in the

About TMR Content Community Submissions ... Store A Conversation with David Sedaris Listen to audio outtakes from this interview in our special podcast! [ Click here. David Sedaris first came into the national spotlight in 1992, when Ira Glass asked him to read for Morning Edition on National Public Radio. At the time, Sedaris was living in New York City, working as a house cleaner. He read "Santaland Diaries" for NPR, an essay that chronicles in meticulous, hilarious detail his odd experiences working in green tights as a Macy's elf. Since that first reading, Sedaris has written the best-selling books Barrel Fever and Holidays on Ice and several collections of essays, including Naked Me Talk Pretty One Day and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim . His radio pieces air on National Public Radio's This American Life , and his essays appear regularly in The New Yorker and Esquire . He also writes plays with his sister, Amy Sedaris, creator of the Comedy Central series Strangers with Candy . Along with David's partner, Hugh, they collaborate as "the Talent Family" on plays that have been produced at La Mama, Lincoln Center and The Drama Department, in New York City. Sedaris recently edited an anthology to raise money for 826NYC, an organization dedicated to tutoring youth in Brooklyn, modeled on the successful 826 Valencia project in San Francisco. He currently divides his time between residences in New York, France and England and is working on his next book. Twice a year, Sedaris goes on lecture tours in the United States, reading his new work to audiences across the country. This interview took place on April 17, 2006, at a coffee shop in Wichita, Kansas, where he gave a reading that evening at the Orpheum Theater.

David Sedaris May Sometimes Exaggerate For Effect!
So the David Sedaris takedown piece that we've waited so long for has finally arrived, courtesy of the folks at The New Republic TNR (who know from fake writers) has discovered about America's Greatest Middlebrow Humorist.
  • David Sedaris exaggerated his experiences working at a North Carolina mental hospital in 1970. In fact, a few humorous stories he tells never even happened
  • David Sedaris' midget guitar teacher was not, in fact, a homophobe, and was actually a pretty darn good teacher.
  • David Sedaris was not put in speech therapy because he was gay; he was put there because he had a lisp.
  • Some hicks may have been more sophisticated then Sedaris gives them credit for.
  • David Sedaris' mom was not a full-time alcoholic bitch; at some points she was a decent, kind mother. Also, his father is not as grouchy as he has been portrayed.
  • David Sedaris is not actually gay. He lives with his wife and three children in Rochester, Minnesota, where he coaches Little League and is a deacon in his church.

          • My hands tend to be full enough dealing with people who hate me for who I am. Concentrate too hard on the millions of people who hate you for what you are and you're likely to turn into one of those unkempt, sloppy dressers who sag beneath the weight of the two hundred political buttons they wear pinned to their coats and knapsacks. I haven't got the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out. "You kids think you invented sex," my mother was fond of saying. But hadn't we? With no instruction manual or federally enforced training period, didn't we all come away feeling we'd discovered something unspeakably modern? What produced in others a feeling of exhilaration left Jason and me with a mortifying feeling of guilt. We fled the room as if, in our fumblings, we had uncapped some virus we still might escape if we ran fast enough. Had one of the counselors not caught me scaling the fence, I felt certain I could have made it back to Raleigh by morning, skittering across the surface of the ocean like one of those lizards often featured on television wildlife programs.

    "It wouldn't matter where I grew up. If you hate that time in your life, it's not what you had in mind. You want to live on Park Avenue and have a house full of servants and you live in Raleigh, North Carolina or Phoenix, Arizona or... it doesn't matter. It's just not what you had in mind. Now I welcome all that stuff. Like, I wish my school had corporal punishment. I could write a story about being beaten by a key chain. Now I just wish that all those people had been worse. I would have had more to write about." He is completely fascinated by our waitress. She is a pale blonde, perhaps 20, with perfect skin and eyes the color of bottled water. His eyes follow her as she goes about her chirpy duties in the crowded restaurant. "She's beautiful," he breathes, as though this were the most natural thing in the world. "And her skin! You know," he adds quite seriously. Deadpan. It's his signature. "I don't think she has pores." Those who have read any of David Sedaris' work at all know that he's openly and happily gay. In fact, he shares his Paris home with Hugh Hamrick, the person he refers to frequently as his boyfriend. I find myself wondering what Hugh would make of Sedaris' lunchtime obsession with our server. After a while, though, I don't wonder. Sedaris' curiosity is large and very real. He is curious about almost everyone and everything and occasionally, when he finds something especially noteworthy, he pulls out a battered little spiral book and jots himself a note. Fuel as is everything he comes in contact with for the furnace of creativity he can become while working on a book.

    A.M. Hugh had picked them the previous day, and it broke my heart to think of him marching across a muddy field with a bouquet in his hand. He does these things that are somehow beyond are When Hugh beats underpants against river rocks or decides that it might be fun to grind his own flour, I think of a couple I once met. This was years ago, in the early nineties. I was living in New York, and had returned to North Carolina for Christmas, my first priority being to get high and stay that way. My brother Paul knew of a guy who possibly had some pot to sell, so a phone call was made, and, in the way that these things happen, we found ourselves in a trailer twenty-odd miles outside of Raleigh. Liar , it said.

    Taping was done during his February 26, 1998 seminar and reading.
    David Sedaris 's sardonic humor and incisive social critique have made him one of National Public Radio Morning Edition's most popular and humorous commentators. Sedaris also is the best-selling author of Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays (1994), a collection of stories and essays based on his experiences working odd day jobs, and his personal misadventures as an elf in a department store in The Santa Land Diaries . His most recent story collections are Naked (1997) and Holidays on Ice (1997) . One of his trademarks, in the words of one Newsweek reviewer, is his "nicely nerdy, quavering voice," and the Washington Post observes that, "On the air, Sedaris's shrewd, wickedly funny pieces prick up your ears; his tart voice never gets lost in NPR's Sargasso Sea of sincerity."
    Sedaris also writes plays with his sister Amy Sedaris, including "Incident," "One Woman Show" and "The Little Freida Mysteries." New York Times reviewer Ben Brantley asserts, "This brother-and-sister playwriting team has an unparalleled ear for American cultural cliches and an equally fine hand for twisting those cliches into devastating absurdity."
