For a brief bio, go here or here.

For a 2004 interview with Mr. Sedaris, go here. I think the highlight is at the end when he talks about finally getting a computer: "When I was working on a typewriter and I whited out a line, often I would choose a word to go in the space just because it fit. Now I don't have to do that."

For an interview about his 2001 book, Me Talk Pretty One Day, go here.

For a review of his latest book, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, go here. You can also listen to Mr. Sedaris read from the book.

Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
Barrel Fever
He has also co-written several plays with his sister, Amy Sedaris.

David Sedaris will be at the Weinberg Center in April, 2009.
