About book David Sedaris: Live For Your Listening Pleasure (2009)

David Sedaris: Live For Your Listening Pleasure consists of David Sedaris reading five of his essays. Cat and Baboon is one of his animal fables, a cat being groomed at the baboon’s salon before a party; Author, Author details some of Sedaris’s book tours, including a hilarious visit to CostCo; Innocence Abroad, a hysterical piece on people who pronounce foreign names “authentically”; Laugh, Kookaburra is an amusing description of his visit to Australia, his interaction with a kookaburra and the childhood reminiscences that ensued; and Diary Entries, random diary entries detailing some more of his interactions with book tour attendants, and observations on his travels. Sedaris manages to do hilarious and poignant at the same time. Reading Sedaris is unadulterated pleasure: listening to him read his work doubles the pleasure. Another fabulous reminder NOT to listen to David Sedaris while on public transit, lest all of the other riders begin to slowly creep away from you as you chortle, snort, and then eventually laugh loudly and for a good length of time as David describes a well-intentioned trip to Costco with his brother in law that ends with a cart full of condoms (in the hundreds) and strawberries. Seriously. Don't listen to this in public.

Hearing him perform to an audience is even better than hearing him narrate his own books.
