Summary

David Sedaris's remarkable ability to uncover the hilarious absurdity teeming just below the surface of everyday life is surpassed only by his ability to make his stories even more hilarious when he reads them aloud.

This is the complete recording of Meet David Sedaris Series Two, his second series for Radio 4, and he reads essays from several of his books as well as many brand new diary pieces and extras.

A unique talent

Perceptive, surreal, brilliant - a talent like no other. Makes me feel normal and laugh like no other.

A mixture of hilarious and touching anecdotes

I am a fan of David Sedaris and this collection of anecdotes did not disappoint. He makes me laugh out loud with his observations. What was new to me were some fictional stories where the characters were animals. They were beautifully written ( and narrated) and reminded me of Oscar Wilde's stories for children. His diary snippets are hilarious. A thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours.

Very Funny

David Sedaris has accompanied me on many trips to and home from work. His dry wit and humour is hilarious. Highly recommended

Quite as brilliant as ever

I think everything he does is brilliant - but these spoken versions are the highest form
- great selection of his best writing - presented with a mix of comic dead-pan and gleeful naughtiness - he’s equally charming and deeply flawed

All the personal foibles and weaknesses - his own and his family’s are spread out and dissected

I listen on a commute and regularly end up laughing out-loud

Just brilliant :-)
