David Sedaris
Memorial Auditorium 2 E South St - Duke Energy Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27601
After nearly three decades of becoming one of America’s most renowned satirists, humorists, and truth-tellers, David Sedaris is firmly a household name. Now, the writer is back on the road, this time after releasing his newest collection of semi-autobiographical observations. Calypso follows Sedaris as he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast and realizes that, dream vacation plans aside, the coastal getaway can provide a refuge from everything except himself. The book is his darkest and most intimate work yet, exploring middle age and identity with razor-sharp clarity, a healthy dose of cynicism, and, of course, lots of laughs. This reading will feature a fresh set of these autobiographical stories, followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing with the beloved author and humorist. Come for the clever wit and laugh-till-you-cry anecdotes, stay for Sedaris’ signature soul-stirring authenticity.
