Promoting his new book
When You Are Engulfed in Flames, the public-radio humorist and best-selling author of
Me Talk Pretty One Day and
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim comes to Jesse Auditorium. With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America's pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today. Come spend an evening with Time Magazine’s 2001 "Humorist of the Year."
David Sedaris will be signing books before and after his Jesse Auditorium appearance.
