David Sedaris, one of the most-loved essayists since essayists were first loved, is returning to Australia for his fourth tour.
Sedaris has sold millions of books worldwide, due to his off-kilter writings on grief, anxiety, his unconventional family life, the joys of walking (but only with a pedometer), befriending animals, and — of course — his frequent appearances on This American Life.
Tickets to his talks/readings/musings are $65 and go on sale this Friday, July 21. He will appear at the Sydney Opera House on January 18 and 19, and considering all three of his past tours sold out promptly, you’d best not dilly-dally.
Read Sedaris’ excellent essay about the joys of communicating with a wild fox here, or listen to his tales about playing Santa at a provincial mall one sad holiday season, below, in what became his breakthrough radio piece.
