David Sedaris Coming To Sydney

If you haven't read a David Sedaris book, you simply haven't lived. Few come close to his biting sarcasm, his wit and his ability to have you roar with laughter. His writing is proof that truth is stranger, and often much funnier, than fiction.

Is he coming to Melbourne? One of the best comedy writers in America today,easily! I have all his books!

Has anyone ever seen his sister's TV series Strangers With Candy? She (Amy Sedaris) recently released a movie version of the TV series, but it paled in comparison to the original TV show. It was so wrong, but in the funniest and most entertaining way possible.

Just brought my tickets...I went to his reading and signing last time he was in Sydney and it was a great experience to listen to him read his own work.

I saw David a couple of years ago at the Sydney Writers Convention, when he was doing readings from "Me Talk Pretty One Day". I used to listen to him on NPR when I lived in the States - he's such a scream! Will have to see him in Sydney!
