Tickets on sale Friday
The Center for the Arts, University at Buffalo welcomes David Sedaris at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17. A book signing will follow. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, June 5.
With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, Sedaris has become one of America's pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.
Sedaris is the author of "Barrel Fever" and "Holidays on Ice," as well as collections of personal essays and his most recent book, "Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls," each of which became an immediate bestseller. He is the author of the New York Times-bestselling collection of fables titled "Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary (with illustrations by Ian Falconer)." He was also the editor of "Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules: An Anthology of Outstanding Stories." Sedaris's pieces appear regularly in The New Yorker and have twice been included in "The Best American Essays." There are a total of 7 million copies of his books in print and they have been translated into 25 languages.
Sedaris's original radio pieces can often be heard on the public radio show "This American Life." He has been nominated for three Grammys for Best Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album.
