#25 David Sedaris
January 26, 2008 by clander
For many of you, this post will be a confusing as you wonder who exactly this David Sedaris is. He is a humorist who writes for the New Yorker and has seveal books including Barrel Fever and Holidays on Ice.
His stuff is kind of funny, but white people go crazy and will pay hundreds of dollars to hear him read from his own book. Let me say that again, they will pay money to see someone read from a book they have already read. They know the jokes are coming, they know the punch lines, but they feel the need to hear the author actually say it.
White people universally love David Sedaris. So if they ever ask you “who are you favorite authors?” you should always reply “David Sedaris.” They will instantly launch into a story about how much they love his work, and the conversation will go from there, and you don’t have to talk about books any more.
It is also safer than saying Jonathan Franzen, Dave Eggers, or Shakespeare. White people are very divided on these authors and might actually ask you questions about why you like them. Stick with David Sedaris, you can’t lose! If they do you press you, just say “I read a lot, and I never laugh out loud from a writer, but Sedaris is just brilliant.”
This advice will make white people respect you, trust you and more willing to invite to you parties.

David Sedaris is great and I haven’t meant anyone else who has read him. Guess I’m hanging around a bunch of uneducated white people here at UCSC.
I love David Sedaris
[...] know he jokes about not being able to understand why people pay to go see him, but, really, I don’t know why people pay to go see him. He got started doing live recordings [...]
“Youth in Asia” was a cute little story. I don’t find him absolutely brilliant though as his fans do.
My favorite author! I have hardback first editions of all his books and audio recording on my iPod of every book and NPR show he has recorded.
Shockingly, not all “white people” (upper-middle class, liberal, educated white people, that is) like him. I have tried to share my love of David Sedaris with others by giving his best books as Christmas and birthday gifts. After waiting an excruciating six months for the giftee to read the gift, I am always met with a disappointing, “Eh. He’s OK, I guess.”
