the buzz

“Sedaris’s droll assessment of the mundane and the eccentrics who inhabit the world’s crevices make him one of the greatest humorists writing today.”—Chicago Tribune

“Sedaris ain’t the preeminent humorist of his generation by accident.”—Entertainment Weekly

“He’s smart, he’s caustic, he’s mordant, and, somehow, he’s…well, nice. Sedaris has hit upon the narrative equivalent of Pepsi, or the PlayStation, or oxygen, or the haircut: something that others in the world might actually want and find useful.”—Toronto Globe and Mail
