David Sedaris
Presented by Celebrity Series of Boston at Symphony Hall May 6, 2012 Best-selling author, humorist, and National Public Radio contributor David Sedaris takes the writer's art of observation to new heights. His wit skewers the mannerisms and cultural euphemisms of our time so effortlessly that one hardly notices the social critique. He has been compared to Mark Twain, Evelyn Waugh, Oscar Wilde, and Voltaire; perhaps he is our era's contribution to that illustrious list.
