David Sedaris is a Grammy award-nominated american humorist and radio contributor.

The stories in thebest of me reveal the wonder and delight Sedaris takes in the surprises life brings him.

“For more than 25 years, david Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. a Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside,” said a review in goodreads.com.

It “opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to read without laughing,” said the review.

Ffull of joy, generosity, and the incisive humor that has led Sedaris to be called ‘the funniest man alive’ (time out new York), the best of me spans a career spent watching and learning and laughing— quite often at himself — and invites readers deep into the world of one of the most brilliant and original writers of our time,” the review added.

Sedaris came to prominence in 1992 when national public radio broadcast his essay Santa-Land diaries.

He published his first collection of essays and short stories, barrel fever, in 1994.
