David Sedaris

[TALK] Few authors have cracked through the rigid border between literature and pop culture the way David Sedaris has over the course of his career. His use of humor—ranging from wry satire to blistering self-deprecation—binds his narrative style like glue. His entertaining brand of storytelling, self-reflection, and broader social commentary is guided, weighed down by, and held together by his omnipresent jokes. Sedaris broke through with an appearance on NPR’s Morning Edition in 1992 with his now holiday classic SantaLand Diaries and is currently making the rounds performing from his most recent autobiographical publication, last year’s Theft By Finding, a compilation of diaries from 1977 through 2002. In it, Sedaris marks his own development as a writer and person, struggling with drug addiction and obsessive compulsive disorder and coming into his own as an artist. Sedaris’ chief talent is in making the quirks of his personality and background as a gay man of Greek heritage from middle class America into something relatable and meaningful to huge audiences. Buffalo folks will get a chance to experience it themselves next Wednesday at UB Center for the Arts.
