David Sedaris


The writer is in

When I complete this blog, I will have likely written about my three favourite authors, the only three authors I read. What Klosterman, Quarrington and Sedaris have in common is that they’re deeply insightful and outright hilarious, but they’re funny in very different ways. Klosterman is funny in an angry, satirical fashion, Quarrington highlights the subtle humour of humanity and David Sedaris is funny in a snobby-but-right kind of way, drawing from his bizarre and quirky encounters with family and society.  Pick up When You Are Engulfed in Flames among others to discover how funny and enriching memoirs can be.
