2020 SOVAS Award Winner for Audiobook Narration—Author Performance—Best Voiceover
An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller.
In this surprising essay, international bestselling humor writer David Sedaris shares the rewards of a book tour and his devoted readers’ worst-kept secrets.
Dismissed by a bored author at a book signing, a betrayed young man named David Sedaris made a vow. Someday, when it was his turn at the table, he’d connect with his readers. The experience has been even more revealing than he’d hoped.
In this hilarious and perceptive essay, the celebrated humorist reflects on the unusual patterns of forced socialization between author and audience, and the obligations and sometimes surprising returns of not-so-chance encounters with strangers: jokes, secrets, insights, and even charity.

He comes up with more and more to share, and he is as extraordinarily talented an actor as he is a writer. He deserves his audience waiting in long lines to get his attention. I am constantly searching for everything new he releases.
This piece is worth your time and money!
