Synopsis Author

The mighty American humourist follows up Calypso with another hilarious and wryly perceptive collection of personal essays to entertain and enlighten.

In Happy-Go-Lucky, David Sedaris once again captures what is most unexpected, hilarious, and poignant about recent upheavals, personal and public, and expresses in precise language both the misanthropy and desire for connection that drive us all.

If we must live in interesting times, there is no one better to chronicle them than the incomparable David Sedaris.

MEDIA REVIEWS

'It's hard to think of a better living practitioner of hilarious honesty than David Sedaris.' - The Times

'In this latest collection of anecdotes, the American humorist David Sedaris riffs on Covid, death and family . . .No longer elfin, Sedaris has matured into a devilish imp who scourges human folly and filth.' - Peter Conrad, The Observer

David Sedaris

Incisively quick, sardonic, risqué and riotously funny, American author David Sedaris is one of the world’s most popular comic writers. An essayist and raconteur, his work is most often identified by his unique brand of autobiographical writing and performed readings.

He first made his name on American radio, marking his debut on American National Public Radio with his now-famed essay SantaLand Diaries about his time employed as a Macy’s department store Christmas elf. Now resident in the UK, Sedaris tours regularly and is a frequent contributor to BBC R4. His books include: Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk, Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls and Theft By Finding.
