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.
*sigh* Guilty. It’s not our fault! He’s gay, and misunderstood! How can we resist? ๐ฆ
OMG, “Me talk pretty one day” was the first book that made me laugh so hard to the point of crying.
PS – It’s the only book thus far to trigger such emotion.
Me too, Allie.
Next thing you know, they’ll pay money to hear somebody perform songs they’ve already listened to.
I once mistakenly admitted to a crowd of white people that I didn’t like David Sedaris. I was immediately detected, and my whiteness rating suffers still.
I first knew my second marriage was kaput when my wife started writing love letters to David Sedaris and then pretending to be his wife.
FLEE!
“I was immediately detected, and my whiteness rating suffers still.”
Very funny Jake, but I detect a certain inherent whiteness in the name Jake!!! It’s even more obvious than Ted.
*sigh* im not white and yet I love David Sedaris. i read most of his books but will not pay good money to watch him read them. besides, his voice kinda freaks me out.
i concur in every way with dominique. i also have to add that since david sedaris is vaguely Mediterranean and so am i, it’s one of the reasons i love him. the bond of the stuffed grape leaves.

We love Michael Chabon too.
I’m white and I heard him on NPR and laughed a few times, but I’d never pay to see him. Cool?
DS is a f******ing wump!
I dont know whut that meens but i dont know whuts ut with DS either.
i didnt realize he was gay until he started talking about sleeping with some guy .
i dont get david sedaris. Everyone on the train reads him (white neighborhood trains), i borrowed one of his books from a friend and i still dont get it. i think i missed some white culture class i should have gone to.
and to Anonymous: you’re rasict… and i dont believe this site ever claimed it wasnt racist. so your irony is lost… if your white, your failing your race in the irony sector.
My wife would enjoy this one. She isn’t white, but according to most of this blog, she might as well be.
I prefer Andy Sidaris.
http://www.andysidaris.com/
But I miss on about half of these things I’m supposed to like. On the other hand I’m an evil mustache twirling republican so I guess I’m at least halfway a failure as a white guy.
so fucking true. reading this blog makes me realize just how white i really am. its hysterical.
I hate David Sedaris and have mentioned this to other white people. Word has spread quickly and I have no more white friends.
the end
Give me Eggers over Sedaris any day.
do people who aren’t white dislike David Sedaris?.. how could someone not like David Sedaris?..
Don’t forget David Sedaris also lives in France, which makes white people of a liberal stripe happy because it can counter-act all the faux-patriotic “Freedom Fries” claptrap.
I really don’t find his books that funny to read, but hearing them read or performed as plays (The Santaland Diaries) makes me cry with laughter.
I never knew just how white I was until reading this blog…
I love David Sedaris, but I’m a black female raised in white suburbia- so I don’t have any real impact on this blog.
Just glad to see that he’s universally liked by white people!
hm. i love david sedaris and franzen ๐ and i’m asian.
somehow, this post made me think of how it has become increasingly popular among my white friends to point out that they find steve martin’s writings “so much better” than his films. just a thought, in case you wanted a future topic.
sg – so you’re saying this sight IS racist? Why is racism the most evil of all things except when it’s directed at white people it’s funny? If I where to tell a racist joke I’d get scolded for it and told that racism is NEVER funny. What hipocrites you asses are!
guilty.
What about Amy Sedaris?
I’m so white I love David Sedaris AND AMY SEDARIS!
Ditto to Katy! They both crack me up! I was very upset the day my family went to see David Sedaris’ play w/out me. Very. Upset.
Sedaris is hilarious! I love his sister Amy too!
He is hilarious… and so is his sister Amy… How they came out of the same household and became as hilarious as they are in their own right… awesome
Oh no! This one was a bit painful for me. There have been accurate ones, but this is the first one that made me wince uncomfortably over how true it was.
When I first heard him on the radio (NPR–how could you not point that out?), I thought it was an old lady. Now I find him sexy.
His successor David Rakoff is also quite shagworthy. (Yes, I know they’re both gay.)
people pay hundreds (usually it doesn’t actually cost hundreds) to hear an author read for the same reason people go to concerts. i assume people own or have at least heard of the music that will be played at the concert. so, i’m not sure why this seemed so strange.
This is RICH.
A few years ago a white acquaintance of mine suggested I read “Barrel Fever”. She loaned me her copy.
I read the book from cover to cover and really didn’t get much out of the experience.
I was unmoved by his supposed wit or insight.
It was just one bland “observation” after another.
When I returned the book I reported my honest assessment that ‘I didn’t like it very much.’ Which was met with shock and, I believe, a fair bit of disgust.
Sigh. ๐
Well then, Adisa, I suggest you return to watching “American Idol” and leave the white people alone.
David Sedaris? Since I now live in a major metro (Chicagoland, my friends), I’m supposed to love the guy, but my Downstate Illinois roots make me squirm every time I hear him talk for more than 30 seconds. Oooohhhhh, the smugness. I know its supposed to be in the service of Irony, which I do like, I’m therefore racially inclined to like it. But I think he’s not ironically smug, he’s secretely seriously smug. Almost as smug as, say, “They Might Be Giants”.
I’m now inspired to collect some scathing book reviews of “Me Talk Pretty One Day” c’mon over…. Nothing is more white than writing Amazon reviews, and to get even whiter, read ironically bad reviews on Amazon.
[…] you condemn me, read this! I’ve never read any of his books, but I do have aย Dave Eggersย book on my shelf!ย (which I […]
I guess I lose my white club membership card as I’ve never heard of this guy
I have never paid to see him read, but I have gone to a bookstore for a reading and to have a book autographed. Damn I’m lame.
Yeah, the autograph and reading was by David Sedaris.
Eh, what’s the controversy with Dave Eggers? Depression is at least as white as gayness.
Whoever writes this, you are a fucking genius.
I agree with Devin.
Yeah, I’m white, and I love David Sedaris. He’s funny as hell! Also, his sister Amy is hilarious, too. Strangers With Candy is one of the funniest shows of all time.
basectly, if you haven’t been through an akward nerdy period where every little thing you did seemed to be out of place socially, you wont get his humor. but…considering most “white” people have been through it (whether for a month or 5 years) they’ll get it and piss their pants!
ps. david saderis is on my top list of authors, also hunter s. thompson (hes fuckin amazing!)
Why WINCE? Why is it a BAD thing to like David Sedaris? Or watermelon, for that sake?
David Sedaris is funny AND extremely touching at times. When he writes about his mother, he gets the maternal love and abuse JUST RIGHT!
No shame here. AND I went and saw “Santaland Diaries” at the Gallery Players in Brooklyn this Christmas, and practically could speak along with the actor.
No shame. He’s a great writer.
I am sssooo white having enjoyed a wonderful fried chicken dinner with Dave…er David in the company of two other friends. Cannot get through any thing I read or hear of him on the radio without laughing hysterically outloud.
so yes, I am a white gay girl hooked on SEDARIS.
I gotta admit, on this one I (a hispanic), my wife (a Panamanian, German, and Haitian), and my Antiguan theater friend all love David Sedaris. We don’t see race when we read/ listen/ watch him. Only orientation…and that orientation is homo-fun-uality!
btw, Hejira… my favorite touching story and the one about the Rooster, my favorite funny story with A Shiner Like a Diamond coming in second.
That Shakespeare should be mentioned in the same sentence as Franzen and Eggers is exactly why this blog exists and why white people have become morons clinging to cultural mediocrity. All you need to do is read Genius, by Harold Bloom, and he lays it all out… how this has been happening on our campuses for the last thirty years… only now, it seems to have become almost a cultural and political stance among upper middle class whites.
As a matter of fact, most of the white people who like many of the things on this list have a great suspicion of greatness… they don’t understand it and prefer the whiney ironic self-flaggelation (actually self-congratulation) of someone like Franzen over the depth and strangeness of someone like Herman Melville. Like Michael Herr said about Eyes Wide Shut when it came out, the entire culture suffers from art phobia. The ‘intelligentsia’ wants to bring everything down to a level where the measure of depth is how much something comments on the current situation in Iraq, or a lazy day at the Pottery Barn, rather than the more difficult and illusive truths of life. The assumption always being, about anyone who disagrees with their cultural critiques and assessments, that the person calling them out on their B.S. is hopelessly clueless or old-fashioned, not ‘hip’ enough to understand why The Kite Runner is the greatest novel… ummm, EVER.
I hate to say it, but for many of them, the irony of Eggers title is seriously lost. And irony was pretty high on this list, yet whom, more than the type of white person described on this list, is more hopelessly out-of-touch with what is truly ironic? This list is a parade of ironies…
It’s not the embrace of DS or Franzen, everyone dressing exactly the same and making their homes look the same, $8 coffee, Apple laptops, and Jack Johnson (is he on this list? if he isn’t, that’s a crime) that I object to…. well, ok, I do kind of object… but what I REALLY object to is their elevation to something other than the mediocre cultural objects of the moment that they are. They signal that what has really caused the need for something like this list is the obsessive need these days for everything to be the same everywhere and the self-conscious, completely gripping fear of being out-of-touch or different than the neighbor. The fear is no longer keeping up with the Joneses, the fear is that you might not be doing the same exact thing at the same exact moment as the Joneses. And to not have an opinion that makes you stake your credulity on something that all the other white people might not be able to understand… why do that when we can all agree to embrace all that is middle of the road and don’t have to have an opinion that might call into question our intelligence.
So the reason for this list and why the humor is so biting at times is because if you ever are in a group of white people (and I live in an enclave of this sort of thing across from a park where, if you don’t have an $1000 buggaboo for your precious snowflake (‘CHILD’) you are an outcast), and you question any of these things or have an opinion that differs from the white norm, you’re looked at as a pod person. This stuff just has to be said!
man, this blog is stalking me…
ill pay to see david enter the octagon thats it
i think i’ve heard him on NPR ๐
I love him on NPR (in a totally heterosexual way, not that there’s anything wrong with that). He has a great reading voice, that’s why we go hear him! And, yes, I do have a book of his, but I haven’t read it yet. Oh, yeah, white people love buying books that they never read.
Karoka is right! GOOD ONE White people like him also like saying” Not that there is anything wrong with that”. White people love “The Office” and the movie “Office Space”
White people score extra points for liking the British version of “The Office” more than the American version.
I am so white that it hurts.
But if we’re going off on white authors, and white liberal culture markers…
Chuck Palahniuk. He’s white (so we feel comfortable with him), gay (so we feel like we’re ‘down with the minorities) , and offensively, obscenely, mocking pop culture and society (this titillates our morbid curiosity, our love of self-mockery, and our common desire to ‘rebel’).
Fuck yes! David Sedaris is hilarious. For the win!
I hate David Sedaris so much.
David Sedaris made me laugh so hard with the Easter schtick that I actually started sobbing. Oh, I am soooo guilty of this one!
Give it up for Elmer Parr!!!!
Elmer displayed not only correct and fluent use of the word ‘whom’, but a well honed sense for deploying commas. I commend him on his astute observations and requisite references to contemporary authors. It takes a lot of energy to follow up the shallow observations we all share to get to something deeper. Who has time for that?
I laughed for the first five posts, but I’m a bit tired of this snarky stuff. White people like this blog too don’t they?
I’m going to go read some comics. Most of those are for white people. I wonder if anyone’s reworked Moby Dick yet…
I leave a copy of “naked” on my nightstand so that when I’m “showing people the house” (another time-honored white tradition) i look relavent.
Amy Sedaris is my favorite female celebrity by far!
David Sedaris is also extremely funny to me!
I love Strangers With Candy! I wish I went to Flatpoint High!
Me Talk Pretty One Day made me cry with laughter!
Amy on Letterman is the best thing about late night comedy!
I would pay lots of cash to see either of them because I admire them both a whole lot!
If you are looking for another individual writer that white people LOVE…..ready?……..
DAVE BARRY
In college, people couldn’t get enough of this guy. They would read his passages like it was gospel.
Barry is mildly amusing but for white people, they just eat his babble up with a spoon.
Make Barry #95 or something ๐
I loved his writing more when I thought it was somewhere near true. Now that I know it’s wholesale fiction based on kind of true things, it ruins it for me.
He is funny but most white Americans don’t know who this guy is much less white people. I think you would have to be liberal NPR listening American to know who he is.
I’m a liberal, white, NPR listener and I just don’t find him funny. I read his stuff (or hear it on NPR) and I get the joke/observation about a minute before he gets to the “funny part”. It’s so predictable, it’s boring. Maybe feeling superior makes me even whiter. ๐
I think we are using the word “funny” here too loosely. Arrogance rarely is.
Wow…i never realized justhow white I actually am. I recycle, drink water drom a metal bottle, shop at Whole Food and farmers’ markets and love DS. I’m so embarassed. This blog is spot on!
Who?
I made the mistake of sitting in the back of the theatre at one of his readings. I kept letting out loud, gut wrenching, cheek cramping bellows of laughter ahead of the punch lines.
Damn I’m white.
I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve avoided reading Sedaris for this very reason.
Odd, everything else on this blog is spot on for me, I don’t even have television, but I never quite “got” DS the way others seem to. If he talked about anything besides his own life I think I’d like him.
Just as the author of this blog is mystified by Sedaris evangelists….
I’m mystified by people who don’t like David Sedaris. I wonder what planet they come from.
Bang on. Good of you to caution on Franzen..
#8 (“Ted”) on #6 (“Jake”): “Very funny Jake, but I detect a certain inherent whiteness in the name Jake!!!”
Ted has no idea how white– excuse me, right– he is here. A recent study showed that Jake was the boy’s name most likely to belong only to white kids, and DeShawn the most likely to belong only to black kids. I think this was mentioned in “Freakonomics”, or at least somewhere else by its authors.
This one I’ve never gotten-white sisters and brothers..
I find Mr. Sedaris about as compelling as unseasoned chicken…
Oh well…
Come on people, David Sedaris is SO passe. It’s all about the Augusten Boroughs!
I’m white and most of this list is painfully accurate, but… David Sedaris? Who?
I’ve done all of the things white people are supposed to do: I hated high school, I went to grad school, I studied abroad, I listen to indie rock, I wear tee-shirts, I like soccer, I practice yoga, I love Wes Anderson/Michel Gondry movies, I love Apple Computers, I loved Arrested Development… and I’ve never even heard of David Sedaris.
I don’t know where you got your intel on this one, but I think your source is wrong. Sorry…
Intelligent people like David Sedaris.
Seeing a pattern yet?
Intelligent people don’t post comments on blogs.
Seeing a pattern yet?
I’m not impressed with david sedaris.
This dude and Chuck Palahniuk seem to be interchangeable.
Who the hell is David Sedaris?
[…] #25 David Sedaris […]
#56, you don’t know a good reading voice until you’ve heard a recording of Dylan Thomas reading “Fern Hill.”
Pity he sotted himself to death.
yes….i must admit. i like many things on this list…including david sedaris.
Aw man, I was reading through this blog, bein’ all “Hah, I’m so not white!”, then you mention Sedaris. Fuck! Man, I guess I am pretty white after all…
My girlfriend gave me a david sedaris book. it didn’t get it at all. Oh, well . . . black man’s burden.
He wrote some book a long time ago about all this stuff supposedly wrong with him “OCD” “tourettes” etc. Other than that book, I forgot what he is famous for .
“OCD” :I wish I was more this way with “things “, I’m not a flake but I’m nowhere near this level. I don’t think is a real problem. I actually dig watching them arrange and re-arrange stuff, friggin awesome- they organizing stuff you wouldn’t even think of- keep the silverware and sock drawer spiffy, as long as you let them have their own area , I don’t see the problem. Hate all these made-up shrink words to make people’s innate qualities make them think they are sick. Bastards. OCD organizers = Dream Man. Ol Dave won’t be organizing my fridge though- doesn’t like girls.
the doo-doo that clogged the toilet story, the chocolate chip cookie story…if u read him u’ll know.
I liked Me Talk Pretty One Day, but then I found out Sedaris stretches the truth in his books. But he passes it off as biographical. Why did Oprah impail that one guy who wrote the fake bio and yet Sedaris’ fame only continues to grow? Shouldn’t we judge him by the same standards? Huh Oprah? I don’t get it.
http://www.flamingspinach.com
Not only do I love David Sedaris enough to pay big money to listen to him read from his very own book…I love him so much I did the other white then and got three of my white friends (and token Asian one) to jump in my Subaru Outback and drive for four hours to see him! Roadtrip anyone? You know we whities love roadtrips!
Most of these posts are so accurate it hurts…but I hate David Sedaris. I don’t think he’s that funny, but I do think he’s mean. And petty. And full of himself. So…watch out. This one isn’t as foolproof as you think.
Checked one of his audio books out of the library to take on a vacation that involved a long drive. Well, if I’d been the driver we would’ve had to pull over so that I could dry my eyes. Brilliant.
Oh, yes. Black female. And BTW, he read from not-yet-published manuscripts at the show.
To me, Sedaris fans are mostly pseudo-intelectual white people who read one book per decade. You know, those people who lack enough brain power and pride to formulate their own opinion on anythingโinstead they go with the flow and claim to “like” a little of trendy this and a little of trendy that, but I guarantee you could stamp Sedaris name on the cover of any novel and they wouldn’t know the difference. If I relied on the thousands of white people I know to suggest reading material, I would be reading nothing but David Sedaris.
I think David Sedaris’ writing blows. The man is clearly infatauated with himself. His humor is cornyโsimilar to the stuff that precedes laugh tracks on G rated 80’s sit-coms like “Charles in Charge.”
I just found this site – and OMG… i love David Sedaris…
I have his books … I even put in on my ipod and listen to it from time to time… nothing puts a smile on my face than hearing one of my favorite stories … I try to ask cab drivers fun questions about gun laws and farm animal sounds…
Sedaris is a riot.

how about monty python?
I’m with Jake (#6), I admitted the same thing when I was getting my hair done and all the women sitting around me froze and I thought my stylist was going to stab me with scissors. Speaking of scissors…they also love “Running with Scissors” because it’s so much like David Sedaris’s books. I just don’t see what the big deal is with his stuff. I felt like an idiot after reading one of his books and immediately switched to “100 Years of Solitude.” Now THAT’S something worth reading.
re: post 78
DeShawn is the most likely to belong only to Black males? Fair enough, but what about LaShondra for Black females? If I meet a wasp named LaShondra I’ll die happy.
Also, why DeShawn over DeMarcus or for that matter LaMarcus? I think there are several names that belong exclusively to Black America. Why give all the credit to DeShawn? Dayquan, Jichael, Harlem – are there white people with those names?
White folks with ridiculous names should write in and inform me…
I prefer Amy. She’s hysterical with her hospitality guides and house rabbit.
this is so funny because i’ve been looking at all the people that white people like and i have no clue who any of these people are. i’m non white and i guess that goes to prove it…
can i really get david sedaris ringtones?
Dammit! I’m as pale as Robert Smith after a month in the British rain, and I never heard of this guy before now! Where’s my old-white-boy infrastructure when I need it? How can I pick up white chicks in bars if no one’s told me which books I’m supposed to have read?! Somebody please, think of the crackers!
Hey Mark,
Lots of old, white mormons have names like LaVaughn and VaLar (to name two actually I know).
Not unlike Woody Allen after “Bananas”, he hasn’t been funny since the part-time-christmas-elf monologue.
But i should talk. I haven’t been funny since the bf and i did it in the bathroom of a Turkish restaurant. They thought we skipped the check.
I saw aDavid Sedaris book at the mall bookstore but it has words in it. I prefer those funny calenders of Weimeraners wearing roller skates . Much funnier and no yucky words.
whats the New Yorker?
LOL! I like David Sedaris (albeit, minus the desire to hear him read from a book) and I’m black. I listened to him when his work was a regularly broadcast on the local NPR station. I wonder if this will trigger a story from someone.
Haha oh yeah and doesn’t this tie in to white people and their “gay tolerance” from some other post?
Nah but f’real Sedaris is funny, no doubt.
Wouldn’t pay hundreds of dollars to hear anyone read from a book though…
interestingly enough, sedaris spends a lot of time making fun of white people, too.
I love Augusten Burroughs, but he’s a poor man’s David Sedaris. Sedaris is far wittier.
[…] #25 David Sedaris […]
How is paying to hear someone read a book any different than paying to go to any sort of concert? You know what’s coming at a concert too.
dave eggers is a choad.
McCain hates David Sedaris.
I prefer Amy Sedaris.
Well because if you go to a concert you get to see some kid that axel got to replace slash just about get away with a famous solo.
I’m not white either (the name does get me in the door though). I love David Sedaris. His voice is the best part about his stories on “This American Life”.
you’re not racist….just not very funny. BTW, black people do not like sniffing glue. Black people like Cadillacs. Black people like fried chicken….etc.
That’s a fucking stupid thing to say, isn’t it? Do you even understand what the purpose of music is? You can listen to a song every day without getting tired of it. You gonna read the same book three days in a row? You’re stupid.
I love David Sedaris, however he does not do so well at another thing that white people like- book clubs. Or, maybe my book club just isn’t white enough. We do enjoy coffee and organic food though!

All the correct use of “whom” and commas in the world can’t hide a content-light pseudocritical essay that’s merely a bitter rant against popular culture. Darlings, you can’t say something’s crappy just because it’s popular. You can’t say someone’s an artphobic moron just because he likes some popular things. It’s possible to simply not like an author — you might not have a good socioliterary reason, even if you’re a supersmart, meticulously educated person.
Ms. Mama, are you referring to Mr. Parr’s posting? I don’t like all of it, but it contains this:
“The fear is no longer keeping up with the Joneses, the fear is that you might not be doing the same exact thing at the same exact moment as the Joneses.”
As far as comments to SWPL postings, that qualifies as insightful. I often wonder whether the UMC whites targeted by this blog realize that they are, often ironically, advertising victims like the proles they secretly detest. The pressure to conform in those little societies can be very high if you’re weak-minded and poorly grounded.
What do you think?
Thanks for the feedback, Kevin. It was mostly the litcrit by Elmer (and Charles) that I thought was shallow; the social analysis might be right on, but it doesn’t necessarily follow that all the works liked by large numbers of weak-minded people are mediocre and lack depth and irony.
If you like David Sedaris, you should definitely read Augusten Burroughs – Possible Side Effects, Magical Thinking… He kicks the shit out of Sedaris in Sedaris’s own genre.
I adore David Sedaris and this blog its hilarious. We are a silly white bunch!!!
No way Sedaris is better than Augusten Burroughs, find him, read him, star with Running with scissors, you willnever go back!
I meant start with…
TRUE THAT. I love them both, but Mr Burroughs is even more hysterical.

You might if you’re reading something interesting that requires some thought and reflection (perhaps something that takes longer than a day to read?).
So true about Chabon . . . it just goes back to the whole gay best friend thing bc the book is progressive and helps them feel like they need to do something about the oppression gays used to face and still face.
BTW, that book is on our reading list at high school. My white english teacher LOVED it. And Sedaris. Actually, both of my white english teachers loved Sedaris. Damn. ..
Music has a set “purpose” that you know for a fact? That pretty much puts you up there with the greatest philosophers of all time, dude.
Me and my friends have a game we play called “shotgun blast to the face”. It’s a question answer game where the answer in always “shotgun blast to the face”. For example You would say “reading David ‘Fag-a-tron’ Sedaris and I would reply ” shotgun blast to the face. You get the picture. You can try it with the entire stuff white people like list and if you are another self hating white person you just might never get your well deserved shotgun blast to the face.
I thought I had it bad in high school when they first really started the cult of the intolerant tolerant indoctrination ball rolling with Maoist fervor (that circa known as the 90’s FYI) . But we where never force fed bourgeois tripe like David Sedaris. What happened? Did they run out of black and or holocaust literature mixed with maximizing your earning potential capitalist allegiance propaganda.
“What you don’t like David Sedaris… Shun the non believer, shun the non believerrrr!” Just another uber shallow, rich homosexual who produces nothing in the big picture.
“The thought of what ameica would be like if the classics had a wide cirulation troubles my sleep”- Ezra Pound
I’d laugh at the British (original) version more if I could understand them better….I’m too American to understand their accents
What I get about David Sedaris is his family was as screwed up and crazy as mine, but in a gentle, loving way. Even though the parents and children love each other, they don’t necessarily like each other or have anything in common.
Only white people could grow up in the same house, raised by the same parents, and wind up completely different people. It sure makes things interesting at Thanksgiving.
I love that.
Haha. Brilliant.
I never got Monty Python. Loved “The Life of Brian” and “The Holy Grail” but their show never made me even smile.
Never liked “Are You Being Served” either. My friends would be rolling on the floor laughing and it just didn’t work for me. Not white enough I guess.
Agreed!
I have been listening to avaunt-guard ( punk, metal, industrial, noise, etc…) music for a couple of decades now and I have to say, being in a band ultimately is about getting high/ drunk and getting laid and little else. Any musician that says other wise is having a reaction to NOT getting high/ drunk and laid. Take it from me I was in a band that had REAL practices, made REAL recording and played REAL shows. Fo’ reals!
Musician provide nothing but entertainment/ distraction in the long run.
Fyi you have strayed off topic yet again because you are a self absorbed first wold megalomaniac.
Jesus God. I have owned houseplants that were smarter and more articulate than you. What next, a long diatribe on how you *know* that the real purpose of art is so paint has somewhere to go after work?
Please get some therapy. Or don’t, and just stop posting. You make me fear for the human race.
AND FUCKING LEARN TO SPELL! You CANNOT, you simply CANNOT pontificate know-it-all shit when you CAN’T FUCKING SPELL.
When you try to be amusing, I wish you didn’t exist. And I have a feeling I’m not alone. I bet people who actually know you also have this wish.
SPELL. SPELL. SPELL. There are dogs out there who can spell better than you. And so can David Sedaris.
Matter of opinion. I find AB to be too bitter and angry and crunched up to be really funny.
Ah, heck I’m sorry mister. When I write these little nuggets of joy early in the morning before I arrive at the construction site (to build your condos) my farmers grammer gets extra red necky.
I think it’s ironic that you yourself are attacking me without really saying anything. So I’m not really sure what your problem with me is other than what I’m saying smacking of the truth.
In short you are the kind of snivelling tool that dismisses people by telling them to “get therapy”. I’ll get therapy when you learn to act like a man.
I get it already. All you have is my puctuations bad. And all I have is scapel like spears of truth that make people like you uncomfortable. The truth shall out as they say.
Black metal rules the day, and Mayhem takes on all comers and murders them.
That’s bullshit. AB’s stuff isn’t as clever as Sedaris, just seedier.
Fool. No.
Nice grammatic errors by the way Mr. Know-it-all.
If you like Mayhem you should check out Maniac’s (of Mayhem) noise project such as Skitliv or Voluspa. But that really does not answer the question of why Pillow talk has a crush on me or why you should read David Sedaris to relate to the sheeple while taking the big city transite rail on the way to your corporate gig to produce nothing and destroy everthing now does it.
if you really want to irk white hipsters, mention liking amy sedaris more than david sedaris. you will regain the respect of white people and they’ll wish they were as cool as you. amy sedaris is a comedian who did a short-lived show called “strangers with candy.” it’s about fitting in in high school and steven colbert plays a closet homosexual. soooo many things about it white people like.
another thing white people like: Gabriel Garcรญa Mรกrquez. every white girl I know loves “Love in the Time of Cholera” or “100 years of solitude.” I read the first 250 pages of 100 years of solitude before I realized it was never going to get interesting. its vague perspectives on war, family, tradition, etc. are hackneyed. its been done. white people need to read more classical literature.
way outwhite everyone. everyone knows the best way to outwhite everyone is to prefer amy.
David Sedaris is a talented chap alright but his latest in the New Yorker had me worrying for his sanity (catching flies in a jar for a spider onto whom he had projected his affections).
Does the kind of Stuff White People Like include things like
Truth, Equality, and Justice?

Not really, Palahniuk is more about the shock-fiction-plot-written-in-a-disgustingly-snide-prose whereas David Sedaris is more about the awkward-childhood-memoirs/observations-written-in-deadpan-prose.
You are absolutely wrong. You think your experience with one band is really representative of all bands?
Some of us care about music.
You’re also a bigot, and your post is incoherent.
Excellent.

dear ‘longlivedeath’: stop disgracing the majority of us who experience music with far greater purpose. i’ve been making music for a living for years and if what you say is true… i would have quit years ago. it breaks my heart to hear that you have yet to experience anything more than the rock cliches that even your our idols know are just small part of the picture.
fuck yall niggaz, us white folk run the world
i ad sex with katie
I love you. Ur so dependable.
Who thought that a comical blog on David Sedaris would turn into this violent struggle between multiple agitated parties? It’s a blog; grammatical errors shouldn’t be the source of such blatant animosity. You’re not exactly a Rhodes scholar either (at least when it comes to writing properly). I’m fifteen, and I’m appalled by both your word choice and lack of understanding of the basic sentence formulas. This is all very disappointing.
“…but what I REALLY object to is their elevation to something other than the mediocre cultural objects of the moment that they are.”
But if everyone loved Shakespeare and Melville, et al, then you wouldn’t have anyone to feel superior to, now would you? How very white of you.
But wait…isn’t wanting to do the exact same thing as someone else, or have the exact same thing, or read or listen to or watch the exact same thing, THE EXACT SAME THING as wanting to “keep up with” someone?
No, really. How precisely are these two things different from one another?
I agree with kittymama’s original observation, and would like to add that a familiarity with Shakespeare doesn’t automatically make you smarter than anyone else, though it might make you think you are.
Yup. I’m yet to meet someone who hasn’t read “Me talk Pretty One Day”. And I’ve never heard anyone say a bad thing about it.

I do not understand why Sadaris is so popular. I understand the irony and the somewhat disturbing situations and punchlines but how can he be regarded as a great writer when all he employs is irony and self reflection. The points he illustrates about life and meaning are so trite and so easily read. If anything is so easily read and understood it could not be that good of art or at least I don’t think it is. Comparing some older literature such as those of James Joyce, Sam Beckett, Nabakov it does not seem like Sadaris is that good. Then again its not fair to compare something that has already been tested. All I know is that when something is embraced uniformly by the masses might imply that its an easy read. Then again just because its popular does not imply its poor art. Although it usually does.
[…] thought your family had to be super-fucked-up in order to write a memoir. Not true! According to David Sedaris (in Entertainment Weekly) and James Frey (in Vanity Fair), all you need is a fertile imagination […]
*sigh* this makes me want to go back and reread the grammar thread.
From a post on the Huffingtonpost.com:
“True or not true, they are absolutely hilarious. Also, as one reader pointed out, the only thing better than reading David Sedaris, is listening to him. However I would add that you only have to hear him read one story and then when you read the rest of them, you can’t get his somewhat whiney, but quite funny voice and pacing out of yoru head”
He’s also gay which is the other thing white people like! I think David Samuels should be the new writer white people like. Sedaris has been skewered recently about the ficiton in his non-ficiton. Samuels is not a humorist like Sedaris but anyone that can write about 80’s music in one piece and American foreign policy in the next has my vote.
The reason people pay exhorbitant amounts of money to go and hear him read is because he is so awesome to listen to. While his stories are awesome to read, it’s even better to listen to him read them because of his voice.
Like Shakespeare.
He completes it.
he sounds like my high school algebra two teacher lol

Also, when he reads in person he usually shared some stories that arent published yet. I heard some diary entries last summer than ended up in When You Are Engulfed in Flames. Pretty cool.
Puleeze. Everyone knows that David Sedaris is yesterday’s Eddie Izzard! (Read while rolling your eyes and doing the snippy hair flip…) Yes, transexuals are the new gays. All of the fun with half the guilt. And hello! He’s English, which is the new expat in France. David Sedaris is a god, just not the fresh, new idol we all crave to be the snappiest hipster on the planet.

Stand up comedy masquerading as novels.
David Sadaris is complete crap. I’m white and I think he is the worst writer. I threw his book in the garbage. I didn’t even bother donating it. I don’t want anyone to suffer. He’s not clever. What is wrong with these people. Bad is the new good, huh? I am outraged at any publicity he receives. He’s completely undeserving. Doesn’t everyone know how easy it is to get published these days?!
Charles who posted on March 14th is the only decent person who posted. I agree.
Sometimes this blog really, really just nails me, and I read it and think “Jesus Christ I really do all these things.”

Angela – you’re an idiot. Your post is astonishingly insulting to those of us who wasted our time reading it.
Hey, I’m not even white and I do this crap. How sad is that? Did somebody say coconut? I’ll hurt ya. I’m not too white to resort to violence ๐
I don’t know if David Sedaris would feel all warm and cuddly because you called someone cunt on his behalf. He seems a bit nicer than that. Plus, I don’t know about the C-word as an insult. Ever tried douche? Douche is not only fun to say, it’s also funnier than cunt, which is frankly just vulgar. It’s like calling someone a hair pie. Why would you do it?
But I do think it’s funny that you said she should throw herself out. I think I’ll start telling people that. Throw yourselves out; don’t even recycle.
Hey another thing white people like…semicolons. I freakin’ love them, but I also love dashes. I’m torn between the semicolon and the dash as my favorite punctuation mark.
(Don’t be alarmed by the sudden lambaste. Angela is secretly the dreaded Spedaris. Sent from the bowels of Hell to troll the internet.)
Nice try, David.
Wow! You probably prefer romance novels or those guys that write 19 books per month!
For those who can read & also have a sense of humor.
โI read a lot, and I never laugh out loud from a writer, but Sedaris is just brilliant.โ
I literally said this exact thing to my boyfriend 3 weeks ago. And, true to form, I pre-oredered his most recent book and am reading it now. And I am only half white. I wonder which half of the list applies to me… I’ll get back to you guys when I figure it out.
Name dropping authors is definitely a white thing to do. Thanks man, we’re all real impressed.

That is one SERIOUSLY white list of authors. Wait a minute while I find my sunglasses.
I don’t really like Sedaris (my partner LOVES him) but I did attend one of his (free) readings in New York (a helluva town!) at the Strand Bookstore (when are you going to do a piece on independent bookstores; they’re very “white”, no?)
Wow…outraged, huh? Seriously? That has such serious connotations. I mean, Im OUTRAGED by whats going on in Darfur and OUTRAGED by the oppression of Tibet, but outraged by a writer getting publicity? A humor writer at that. Somebody sounds like a bitter Betty.
I don’t care for David so much, but I am absolutely in love with his sister Amy.
“David Sedaris had a reading in Brisbane this week, on a book launch tour. Even here in Australia, when he mentioned This American Life, there was a cheer from the audience. And I thought I was the only one here listening!”
From the ‘This American Life” Facebook page
I recently saw David Sedaris read from his work and, sorry, but it cost only $17 – and they’re Australian dollars, worth as much as buttons – and some of the stories are so far unpublished.
Anyway, the white people in the audience did like him. I interviewed him the next day about a bunch of stuff, including bad movies. He was pretty funny.

exactly…Who the f*%k is this guy?
“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.”
Oh man, that’s like buying a cd and then actually going to see that person in concert. Why go see a play when I can just just read it, it’s just as good. You white people wanting to hear something the you love by the person who created it, so very caucasian.
I saw David Sedaris last night and I can verify that it is 100% true…. White people LOVE David Sedaris! The room was filled with mainly older white people, the type who appear to listen to NPR, enjoy brunch on Saturdays and have a serious well planned out Sunday morning ritual with the New York Times.
Just curious, am I the only guy who noticed that there’s a typo in the last sentence: “invite to you parties”. I assume it means “invite you to parties”. Also, I might be wrong because I’m kind of drunk as it’s the “Office Friday Happy Hour”, where your place of employment attempts to apologize for forcing you to work 60 hours per week and show you that they’re not like all the other stuffy white people offices by giving you a free beer. That’s something that office-working white people like.
Siouxzy–you must have seen him in Rochester, NY…great show!
And for the record, he doesn’t read from his books; usually he reads new material to see how it plays out. It’s well wrth the money.
The one exception to this would be my friend, Dan, who is Vietnamese and loves David Sedaris.
I’ve gone vegan and sober in order to make the lead white people feel extremely uncomfortable when offering beer or food at company gatherings. It works particularly well when they have spent a lot of time on ordering fried finger foods and you say “you know potato chips are vegan.”
Obviously he’s read this blog and is just telling you that to make you like him.
I waited in line at a bookstore for an hour and a half, give or take, so that my girlfriend could meet David Sedaris. His books are okay, in person he has the personality of a stick and in the book he signed for her he said, “I’m glad you have legs so that you can walk.” That’s it…is that funny?
Hmm curious I never heard about David Sedaris.
Is that because heยดs a humorist and Iยดm a German?
I would also have the personality of a stick if I had been signing books for two hours; wouldn’t you?
Genau deswegen
Not specific to this entry (I think you’re funny and a good writer, btw), but have you ever considered employing a copy editor? The sheer number of typos/errors is beginning to grate.
HAHA, i just want people to hear me too. You could have said that. What does your comment inspire? You really should think of getting a muse, it may help you with some more substantial comment. Grate, what, do you complain like this in person?
hey but therefor we know(or knew?) George Carlin. This guy was great(jokes about suicide, massgraves, diseases…. I loved this Man)
How many Bloggers have a copy editor? Come on. I guess you could also make the case that Bob Dylan could also use voice lessons and Jackson Pollack could’ve used some art lessons (could he draw the Pirate first?). Who cares or even noticed the alleged “sheer” (carefully chosen word to add credibility to assertion without giving ANY examples) “number of typos/errors”? So if we don’t see the errors and aren’t annoyed by them like you were, you can feel a bit superior? Sounds like another “white” thing. Hey is this in the book already?!
I was @ B&N reading the SWPL blog today (on my ITouch via their Starbuck Cafe’s WiFi, of course) and laughed out so loud I had to turn it off! I got up, bought the book and then “booked it” (left the store). Ah, it’s a good day to be white, finally!
Thanks Christian. I can’t remeber the last time I laughed that much, and I was having a pretty bad day until then. Just saying to my sister the phrase “Aspiring Canadian” made her laugh. She couldn’t help it either! You have a rare, precious gift so don’t let anybody screw with it!
Thank You!
My white wouldn’t like David Sedaris, they are too Right Wing, too small town and too ignorant.
I meant to say…
My white family wouldn’t like David Sedaris, they are too Right Wing, too small town and too ignorant.
i’m sure this has been mentioned, but at his readings, sedaris reads his yet-to-be-published material (at the one i attended, anyway).
he doesn’t read work that’s already published. nobody would pay to see that.
David Sedaris is the furthest thing possible from “a personality like a stick.” You sir are an idiot and need to look a little bit harder next time. Have you ever watched his sister in Strangers with Candy? A stick, HA!
Yeah, and people pay hundreds of dollars to hear a group sing songs they’ve already heard numerous times. What’s the difference?
-Proud Fan of David Sedaris (and no, I’m not white)
the times i’ve seen him he has read both new work and already published stuff.
He’s not funny at all that’s why.
Remember, it’s very important that your comments on a blog offer a deep insight or some sort of extra meaning to the entry. Otherwise, it’s worthless, much like the bulk of standard conversation.
What does his sister in Strangers with Candy have to do with him?
The real question is, would Dave Sedaris?
His sister is hot.

David Sedaris is a good writer. And listening to him read some of his material aloud is fine.
He has had me laughing out loud several times.
That being said, some of the people who listen to him during live performances are idiots. They laugh after every single punchline–seemingly in love with the arc of his vocal line rather than the actual content. Listening to him read live on This American Life, for example, is awful. The audience gut-bustingly guffaws at every single thing he says and very often you say to yourself, what the hell was funny about that? Or, it wasn’t THAT funny. Well, I’ve realized that people just wanna get the first laugh in. Weird. Like if they laugh harder and louder and more immediately than anyone else then they understand his humor. David Sedaris is fine. Most of his fans are fine. It’s just a small group of people who ruin it for everyone else.
Awww…and I kind of liked the idea of your own personal private “white”. As if you could ring a bell and s/he would pop up with an appropriate comment, anecdote, or grammar correction.
A “white family” is not nearly as amusing to picture. Though the right wing part can be fun, but normally only in a somewhat bittersweet, Archie Bunker, way.

[…] did some Stuff White People Like to […]
I hate David Sedaris.
My only question is: At what point do his columns and books actually become funny?
Mostly they’re just depressing or outlandishly boring.
I’m a white person.
I’ve never heard of this man.
Ever.
But our true guilty pleasure is *Andy* Sidaris. His films have scantily-clad men and women, miniature helicopters, radio stations operated from hot tubs in Hawaii, car chases, shoot-outs, explosions, and crossdressing!
I wish I could write like him! His stories about his functional-through-dysfunction family reminds me of my own ๐
another reason why white people like him is that he’s funny, and it’s much easier to finish a funny book (David Sedaris, Catch-22, etc.) than anything else. If you notice people’s facebook profiles under “favorite books” if they’re the kind of person who would never put “Angels and Demons” or the “Da Vinci Code”, they’ll most likely have David Sedaris and some books they read in AP English. Because those are the only books they ever finished.
Isn’t hearing David reading his books very much the same as paying hundreds to see a musical group play? You probably know all the words and have heard the songs numerous times, yet you still pay to go hear them again.
same. i guess this means i should avoid him so i can be unique.
You’d be doing yourself a diservice
The one from strangers with candy? yeah totally
Comedy runs in the family…god your stupid
That’s pretty awesome that you’re vegan and sober to make other people uncomfortable… i’m impressed that you would manage an entire lifestyle, simply so you can make a passive agressive comment at your co-workers. You my man, are truly dedicated to being a douche bag

Your embarrising the white comunity vanessa. We’re kicking you out. Go roll around in some mud, buy a pair of Nike’s and get a section 8 apartment in a project. go ahead, you deseve it.
You actually can write David Sedaris. I found the address through his agent’s site. They forward the mail to him regularly. Not only that, but he seems to be good at responding. I got a postcard from him mailed from France! Not some form thing either. It referenced a mold issue I was having at the time as well as a trip I was taking.
I’m white and Sedaris is on my Face Book. To thine own self be true.
Huzzah! I’m not the only one! Seriously, I’ve only listened to/read a few of his works, but have never found them at all enjoyable–in fact, they tend to be annoying and off-putting in the extreme :/. These days I don’t even bother with him.
I think this blog should be called “Stuff White People From BIg Cities Like.”
I love this site. Makes me laugh everytime. But you are giving the entire white race far too much credit.
The suburban or rural white…another blog could be made about things they like. Completely different.
After experiencing both sides of the white culture coin…I much rather prefer the company of liberal big city whites who can at least laugh at their hipsterness than the suburban “we are the real minority” homophobic/racist/sexist white people I grew up with.
Sure the big city white person is a little full of themself. Obsessed with status. Obsessed with his or her own hipness. But we all are to some extent. At least these people won’t pull a Matthew Sheppard on my ass
I hate this site because it’s right. But I think it is more like โwhat liberal elitists like” I hung with Mr. Sedaris once; it’s the story I use to make new friends.
who’s sedaris? whoever wrote this must not even actually know any white people. how about chris farley? what white person doesn’t like him? i think someone should do some more research on this subject before writing a huge blog on it.
who the fuck is this!?
I had the same question, and I’m as white as you get.
Besides, the New Yorker is for liberal pusswads.
you white people who don’t get this site are obviously the “wrong kind” of white people.
true, white folks love him. but anyone who enjoys brilliant writing should love him, he is hysterical!
I agree, A.B. is not where near as funny as D.S.. Honestly, it isn’t about race with D.S. its about life, and D.S. has some really funny material and in the end you realize he touched on something that is true throughout mankind. So give D.S. some credit, he is an author for everyone.
I just finished reading his most recent book, “When you are engulfed in flames”. No one I’ve read can make me burst into laughter. While it’s very very embarrassing to be caught laughing out loud in the subway, It is one of the best experiences ever!
Those of you who are bitching about not knowing Sedaris, if you live in New York and have never heard of him, YOU’RE PROBABLY LIVING UNDER A ROCK…i wouldn’t trust your judgment on what white people like.
David who??
I don’t like Chris Farley and I’m white… but I do love Sedaris:P
I think the wry exaggeration used to poke fun at Sedaris fans may be lost on some of you. Yes, it is true that many of his fans are enthusiastic almost to the point of gushing. However, the kind of talent Sedaris brings to the page is something so rarely seen that it sparks a sense of awe. Anyone who has spent even a modicum of time in a bookstore and failed to notice his works would be deemed quite obtuse in my opinion. I find it difficult to believe that some have never heard of David Sedaris considering his work and critiques of his work are ubiquitous. Bookstores, popular magazines, radio interviews, television, the internet and newspapers are just some of the places where his writing has been highlighted or discussed. I am white, I am well-read and I am a proud, giddy Sedaris fan! Who else can take a mundane story such as a family trip to the beach and turn it into a treasured nugget of comic gold!
Speaking as a human (white, as if that matters), must say not a fan of Chris Farley at all. Strong dislike of that sort of “humour” — I mean, how many people could there be that are fans of him, really?
Don’t know Sedaris’ work, never heard of him before now, but as I love to laugh aloud while reading, shall certainly be investigating his pieces soon. Thanks for tip.
Further to last remark: OK, turns out I HAVE heard of him, as I see he’s author of โWhen You are Engulfed in Flamesโ which was discussed on radio sometime in last six months. That much I do recall.
Guilty! I do love me some Davis Sedaris. _Barrel Fever_ had a few non-fiction essays which were fine, good first works, but the fiction (most of that book) was downright bad in comparison to his essays. I wouldn’t even read through it. Likewise the fiction in _Holidays on Ice_. But _Naked_ was fantastic, as were his 3 other collections exclusively of essays.
White after all. Is “White Shame” one of the things white people like?
[…] for its riffs on clichรฉd white people favorites like expensive sandwiches, unpaid internships and David Sedaris. Lander will be signing books and drinking micro-brewed beers at the appropriately ironic Euclid […]
Guilty.
So true! I love him. I read a lot, and I never laugh out loud from a writer, but Sedaris always gets me going….
I’m actually just saying that cause you told me to say that. I’m Hispanic and whenever I read the New Yorker I don’t memorize the writers names.
Will use this new tip wisely.
who?
hahaha, I was just talking today about how much I love Sedaris… I am so white.
I said “who?” until my fiance got me Holidays on Ice for Christmas this year…in the last month I’ve read EVERYTHING of his I could get my hands on.
but it IS amusing…his observations of white people…plus his voice is so…CUTE
I heard him reading one of his stories on NPR.
books?
Who the Hell is David Sedaris?? Is he that fella that does the card tricks and stayed in that ice cube for a while.
Ehh, His sister’s funnier.
I’m Indian and I love him, so whatevs, suckah.
People do pay hundreds of dollars to go see David Sedaris read his own stories that they have already read. So you might think that these people are crazy to spend such money. But if you’re truly a fan of someones work its really not as crazy as you think. Think about it this way, I could go to Borders or Target or anywhere online and get a CD of any band. But then if the Musician or Musicians that made that come to an area near me and are having a concert, I might pay quite a bit of money to go see this people actually playing the work that they wrote and I have just waiting at my house for my listening pleasure. Yet huge amounts of people of all sorts of backgrounds go to these performances, it’s no different with David Sedaris.
Guilty. I am white and I love him.
Pillow Talk – I salute you! Genius & utterly correct.
I love David Sedaris and I’m latte coloured
This is soooo true. I do not know a single white person who is well-educated and literate that does not love him.
I paid $25 to see him. However, i had not yet read the book that he was reading from. So technically, I’m not that far gone (although I do listen to his audio books and his performance at Carnegie Hall quite a lot).

Who is David Sedaris?
No, seriously who is he? I’m going to go on wikipedia after this and look him up. I need to know what my white brothers and sisters like about him, so I can have something to talk to them about at school.
where the hell are you getting this? he reads original material when he tours. nobody would pay to see him read from his own books.
You could read one of his stories…say 6 to 8 Black Men from Holidays on Ice or Soultion to Saturdays Puzzle from When You are Engulfed in Flames…the stories are funny, but once you hear the author read it, it gets a whole new meaning. The inflectuations in his voice, timing, tone, they all go together to make the story funnier.
Who?
this list sucks.
I must be very white. I love Sedaris and Wes Anderson films. I have also taken some time off to travel. I wrote about my experience in my moleskine notebook.
I’ve been to two David Sedaris readings, and he never reads his old stuff. Each time he only reads new material that will either be broadcast on NPR later or will be included in his next book.
David Sedaris is awesome!! I have everything he has ever written, and I would definitely pay to go see him read his material. LOL this after the fact that I own the audiobook versions as well… I feel like a big stereotype after reading this!
WHAT? Are you American? European? HUMAN?
Sedaris is only a staple of who we are! A constant reminder of why I can’t stand people like you, and why I am forever grateful for true, painstakingly honest individuals who explore the realms of the psyche, and life, in general… Oh, and I also love just cracking up in mid-sentence, on the train/bus/etcc, reading his immense study on daily life.
Liz’s little spiel about exploring the realms of psyche and life in general (lol) is more hilarious than some of the original blog entries.
The blog entry on self-importance can’t come soon enough for Liz.
Black guy here.
I just finished listening to When You Are Engulfed In Flames, and I JUST DON’T GET IT.
Does being raised in an upper middle class white suburban family a requirement to appreciate this sort of humor?
[…] White people like him. […]
can you recommend a magazine for conservative pusswads? thanks.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DAVID SEDARIS!!! he is hi-freakin-larious!
‘me talk pretty one day’ had me curled up on the floor wiping tears from my eyes. in which case, i would seriously dissuade anyone from reading his books to do this in a crowded setting. unless you want to show onlookers that there is such a thing as pants-wettingly funny.
will also recommend to fellow SWPLers, any book by Bill Bryson.
fyi: i am a black african woman. and cosign on EVERYTHING on this site! lol!
I’m black and I love David Sedaris.
Does this make me white or does it make David Sedaris black?
So confused…
White guy here.
I went to see a David Sedaris performance and I loved it. But he did more than just read his own books – he played a tape from someone else’s book, so there!
Seriously, I do recall looking around the room and not seeing any black people. At all. I mean come on, this is Atlanta, the audience was not at all representative of the population. He did talk about race in his show that I think black people would find hilarious too.
By the way, if you really don’t know anything about Mr. Sedaris’ work, I think there is an important caveat you should know – only “liberal” white people like David Sedaris. Know your audience.
David Sedaris is nothing more than a blipton bledaris.
Man, you got dat right about siblings growing up in the same house & turning out to be completely different people as adults. BTW, I am a white male.
My brother and I are as different as night and day. We took completely opposite paths into adulthood: he went the barely graduated from high school drive a truck for a living path while I went to college and biz school and work in finance. He is blue collar and I am white collar although my bro has been unemployed (basically by his own choosing) for the past 5 1/2 years.
I’m not saying I am better than my bro, just completely different. What makes me sad is that he is my only sibling and we basically don’t have much to say to eachother. Our wives hate eachother which also makes holiday and birthday get togethers rather trying. My dad (in his 80’s) is kind of stuck in the middle of all this, which makes me even sadder.
I wonder what causes this to happen in white families?
yes.
never heard of him.
He’s originally from the stinkpit of Binghamton, New York so I have to like him because of proximity.
love him, but this is true… and funny
[…] # 25 David Sedaris […]
never heard of him…but one thing that should be added to the list is the New Yorker(if not already up here)
[…] writing is brilliant and I am laughing a little too much about politically incorrect stereotypes and phrases-always […]
I’m black and I have re-read “Dress Your Family in Cordouroy & Denim” and “Me Talk Pretty One Day” a couple times! I haven’t been able to find another black person who has 1. heard of him or 2. gets him when I try to tell them about it. One of my favorite phrases from his book: His French teacher (in France) told him, “Teaching you is like having a cesarean section everyday.” Priceless! and this is coming from someone who has had a c-section. I have to go and search his web site to see if he was appearing anywhere near me.
Whats wrong with David!?
http://www.beabetterproducer.com
My thoughts exactly
I WANT A MILLION DOLLARS!!! Can one million RICH WHITE PEOPLE send me one dollar apiece, puh-lease????
I donโt want money from any Asians, or Blacks or Hispanics. You guys NEED your money. I only want one dollar apiece from RICH WHITE PEOPLE who seem to WASTE their money on books by David Sedaris.
Waste it on me instead. Thanks so much! (First person who comments โYou ARE a waste.โ is a rotten egg. You thought it. I know you did. Stop lying. See? I knew it.)
http://thepighasacurlytail.wordpress.com/million-dollar-fund/
White people enjoy Sedaris because he is a self-depreciating, openly gay humorist. Since much of his subject matter is drawn from his own comedic struggles with his homosexuality, his books allow white folks to chuckle at a minority group without having to shoulder all of that PC guilt. After all, here is this gay guy making light of his own gayness. Plus he is a bit of a twink, which makes it even funnier. If Sedaris was a “bear”, I doubt he would sell near the amount of books on CD that he does now.
By the way, this is the same reason white people love Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, The Ellen Show and Clay Akin.
I’m white and I thought David Sedaris’s book, “When You are Engulfed in Flames,” was only OK. I can’t speak for any of his other books…perhaps they’re great. In the book I read there were definitely funny lines here and there, however, overall, I wasn’t that impressed. But I have heard a white guy refer to him as a saint…no joke. I don’t get it…
Sedaris is a lot funnier than this blog. I’m sure all people of all backgrounds would relate to and enjoy his books.
I personally like Augusten Burroughs better…He’s funny in a dark way, and all of his books are memoirs.
Me Talk Pretty One Day was a riot, he’s great. Unfortunately I’m one of those annoying Asian/White mixed breeds you mentioned before.
who the heck is he? another northeast overly-educated liberal idealistic imbecile. maybe his thing should be : Me finally get real job someday.
Moved to North Carolina as a kid. Dropped out of college. He’s had lots of jobs.
His sister, Amy Sedaris, is also quiet funny!
Are you being sarcastic or are you just trying to sound cool by picking the only slightly more obscure white, gay, and male humorist?
David Sedaris doesn’t read anything from his books at his performances/readings/thing. at least that’s what he said, and then did, when i went to see his reading/performance/thing a few months ago.
but i can’t query with the rest of it.
Who?
Wally, David Sedaris was raised in Raleigh, NC.
Laced, I thought the exact same thing.
Oh yah, me talk pretty….did he also write me so horny… for the fobs?
Get your gay slang straight.* Sedaris is no “twink”. He’s way too old. Nor is any great part of his writing dedicated to his “struggles with his homosexuality”. Have you even read any of his books? Or heard him on This American Life** (which is ANOTHER thing white people like)?
* LOL
** The radio version, of course. The television version is not as good because it takes away some of the mystique and I can’t clean my apartment while listening to the T.V. version. Not that I have a T.V. I mean I HAVE a T.V. if you wanna get technical, but I only use it to watch Netflix.
No, that’s David Racoff.
Yeah definitely
Way to miss the point, Nia. Query this he say, pointing to his penis.
His brother’s music and videos are crazy too. the rooster!!! http://slimspickin.blogspot.com/?zx=d0097339ec90452 and i can’t believe how short he is
Check our site out, all of the games are awesome!!!
i am a loser with too many names and too much time. i think the reason why iโm skrewd up is cuz my dad rapes meโฆ Blak pwr
I am such a bitch assed loser. uh huh…/Chunky redd /enigma/ and Michael D Senior just degraded me by bending me over and plowing me with their power tools.
If loving them is wrong, I don’t wanna be right!
HAHA I saw this site on http://www.DanielDickey.com and think it’s DEF just a funny!!
Is there a stuffjewishpeoplelike.com ??
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.”
“Youth in Asia” was a cute little story. I don’t find him absolutely brilliant though as his fans do.
[…] 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 […]
I love David Sedaris
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 saw this site on http://www.DanielDickey.com (The MTV VJ) and must admit it’s just as funny!!!!
Did this guy make http://www.StuffJewishPeopleLike.com as well??
[…] https://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/01/26/25-david-sedaris/ […]
I think sedaris is kinda smug. I remember hearing his sorry ass on NPR. my parents totally forced that down my throat.
I have not heard of David Sedaris, is it odd that I am now going to look him up at a result of this post?
I am white BTW.
I’m cheap, i listen to his readings on youtube and NPR.
I adore David Sedaris. He’s hilarious, intelligent, and a delight to listen to. His writing is clever, personal, and witty. As an avid fan of his I have to say his work is best appreciated when read by him in his dead pan manner. I could listen to it for hours, and I have. It’s really too bad that audiobooks are so expensive, or I’d listen to him much more often.
I literally never get sick of this web site!
Here’s another good one: http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
Ira Glass’s thislife.org is another location of some of his audio bytes as well- at no cost:).
I liked Sedaris until all the fame went to his overinflated head. ๐
same way i feel about devendre banhardt. Just watch him here, such a conceited a-hole. http://slimspickin.blogspot.com/ he is such a dick
i wish there was a place that i could reply in general to this entire website. my husband and i were joking that there should be a category on there about how white people get upset when other white people don’t tell them about totally awesome blogs and when they finally discover it it’s old news ๐
i happened upon this site while reading blogs for a class and thought that it was hilarious. i am white, and though i do not agree with everything on here i have a pretty good sense of humor and can appreciate it. if i had to pick one entry to reply to it would have to be david sedaris. he is my favorite author and i have read all of his books. my husband and i do pay a hundred dollars to see him every time he comes to houston. i love sushi, having multilingual children and the blues (oh, and coffee, of course).
write on!
David is a fucking queer.
If you’re commenting on the fact that he’s homosexual and sexually active, then yes, I’m inclined to agree with you. If you meant that as an insult, I’m afraid just you’ve made a fool of yourself on the internet.
Caitlyn, you have made my week!
[…] I know he is canon for contemporary readers everywhere. And he’s already in the hands of Stuff White People Like so it’s not like I’m going to try and claim […]
LOL! Okay, this is getting out of hand! I’ve been to see him twice and I own everything from Barrel Fever to his last book, When You Are Engulfed In Flames. But in all fairness, he does read material he has yet to publish, and in the last reading, he actually read from his diary. SO THERE! But once again, I did notice that besides myself, there was only an older black couple in attendance. So am I disproving that this is stuff only white people like by the sheer fact that I like the majority of these same things as well?
He wrote a story about obsessively trapping flies to feed a spider that he’d named April when he lived in France. If that doesn’t smack of white elitism I dunno what does. I also have to confess that I did the same thing. As a kid. I think the spider’s name was Elizabeth.
and Orry, what the fuck is wrong with that?
[…] #6ย David Sedaris […]
a plague of ticks is absolute genius! His brother seems like a strange one though. He has an interview on
and he does the rooster and all that
Now Iโm really worried. Iโm white and I canโt stand David Sedaris. Where can I go for help?
Although I shopped for recyclable tampons at a whole foods market after planning to go cherry picking before I go to a selective school for visual arts, but before having a painful experience showing up in vintage yet possibly unflattering overalls to see friends from my school who are attending prom and later being upset that I wasn’t going myself and subsequently watching Garden State with a friend whom I was appalled to learn, only knew that one song by the Shins which is included in the movie (although there are, I am aware, actually two), I do NOT enjoy Dave Sedaris. On a side note, I enjoyed seeing Method Man in Garden State, though recently I have been listening to more Biggie as you could tell by my recent ironic facebook statuses, displaying how disappointed I was to learn that in Me & My Bitch, he does not want a bitch who play “cello” but instead “celo”(As a cello player, I would have been honored). Perhaps next time I wear a DARE shirt and smoke weed I will listen to some bootlegged Tribe instead… and I will CERTAINLY not read read Joyce while coming down from a high again, that bit about hell and eternal damnation gave me quite a fright.
How could anyone NOT lilke David Sadaris. He is brilliant.
IT IS NOT FUNNY
hahaha
[russian white asking] Who is David Sadaris?
if you like this blog, check out http://justsomepetpeeves.wordpress.com!!
i love his stuff about smoking. i have the same nervous ticks. do white people like smoking? doubt it. but this white girl does, unfortunately. although, carrie made the patch a white girl fashion statement.
I am middle-class white, and had no idea who David Sedaris is. I had to read this blog to find out.
Gee, I am finding this site useful to discover what it is I am supposed to like, er, rather at least have some inkling about.
yes, i like David Sedaris and i am white. but i do not like reading him, i like listening to the audio, it’s much funnier. and he’s gay so that goes along with white people wanting gay friends…
You must be the ‘wrong kind’ of white person. For shame.

LOL I saw this blog on http://www.DanielDickey.com (The MTV VJ) and must admit it’s just as funny!!!
White people, well all people, also enjoy http://www.NakedHipster.com. Mainly because the girls are hot and donโt have clothes on. Usually those two things go well together. You know, the hotness and the nakedness.

I love David Sedaris. He inspired me to write my own book of essays: ” Stop Waiting for Prince Charming! He’s Already Married to Bob. The Odds of Getting Married and Other Nonsense. ” I’ve sent him a copy. I hope he enjoys it! His books are gifts to the silly hearts out here!
you are stupid
I don’t read David Sedaris; I prefer Augusten Burroughs.
It’s all about the masturbation room with you isn’t it?
Also I will never be able to look at a blanket with tassels every again…
You got the wrong author. You’re referring to Augusten Burroughs work which has been compared with David Sedaris’ work. The in thing now is to say: “Augusten Burroughs is okay, but David Sedaris is so much better!”
Didn’t realize that the tassel person was speaking of Burroughs, not Sedaris. Sorry!

This site is completely absurd. How is going to see someone read a book you’ve already read any different from going to hear music you’ve already heard, eating food you’ve already tried before, or buying a dvd when you saw the movie in theaters,

Yeah cause only white people like talking about books.
Oh my goodness! Amazing article dude! Thank you so much, However I am going through problems
with your RSS. I don’t know the reason why I cannot subscribe to it. Is there anybody getting the same RSS problems? Anybody who knows the answer will you kindly respond? Thanks!!
David Sedaris is funny like Sarah Silverman is funny. In other words, not funny at all.
Your a kunt.
Sederiz 4 prez.
Oh dear.
I don’t like him you racist, and I agree that people are idiots if they pay to hear him read from his own book. I think he’s a jackass, but I also think you are racist as stated previously.
I’m white, and I hate David Sedaris.
Me too. I’m white (well, Italian) and I think he’s a moron.

This is so spot on. Hilarious. If this guy were not so beloved I would probably find him mildly amusing in limited doses although mostly tedious. That he’s worshipped to the extent he is by white people speaks to the tendency toward groupthink and conformity you hint at in your post. Favorite book? Anything Sedaris.
I have no interest in this person. I find it amusing that others find him amusing. He’s just stupid.
I am black and love this man. I always carry any book of his in my bag at all times. If I feel depressed I open any random chapter and laugh.
