About David Sedaris
A Christmas radio essay launched David Sedaris. In December 1992, NPR's Morning Edition aired The SantaLand Diaries, his account of working as an elf at Macy's, and it made his name.
Sedaris grew up around Raleigh, North Carolina. Ira Glass first heard him reading from his diary in a Chicago club, and when Glass launched This American Life in 1995, Sedaris became one of its regular voices. He has since written dozens of essays for The New Yorker.
The books came next and kept coming. Barrel Fever (1994), Naked (1997), Me Talk Pretty One Day (2000), Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim (2004), When You Are Engulfed in Flames (2008) and Calypso (2018) are among them, along with Theft by Finding (2017), a volume of his diaries. Me Talk Pretty One Day won the Thurber Prize for American Humor in 2001.
He is a writer first, not a stand-up, and his live evenings reflect that. He reads new stories aloud, and the evening usually includes questions from the audience. His recordings earned two Grammy nominations in 2004, and in 2019 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
