När David Sedaris köper ett sommarställe nära havet ser han avkopplande semestrar, brädspel och bad framför sig. Och livet på The Sea Section, som han kallar det, är precis så idylliskt som han drömt om. Men en liten detalj kvarstår: det är omöjligt att ta semester från sig själv, och så gott som omöjligt att ta semester från sin familj. Sedaris är en av de absolut populäraste skribenterna i USA idag, och skriver ofta dråpligt och brutalt ärligt om vår samtid. I sin senaste bok rannsakar han åldrande, politisk korrekthet och döden. Calypso är en både mörk och varm bok, och har blivit unisont hyllad av kritiker världen över. »Calypso är både roligare och mer hjärtskärande än någon annan bok på marknaden« Guardian

Calypso

A hilarious collection of essays from 'the premier observer of our world and its weirdnesses,' New York Times bestselling author David Sedaris (Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt) Anyone who has heard David Sedaris speaking live or on the radio will tell you that a collection from him is cause for jubilation. A move to Paris from New York inspired these hilarious pieces, including 'Me Talk Pretty One Day', about his attempts to learn French from a sadistic teacher who declares that 'every day spent with you is like having a caesarean section'. His family is another inspiration. 'You Can't Kill the Rooster' is a portrait of his brother, who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers of food and cashiers with six-inch fingernails. Readers say: 'Fantastically funny book which gets better and better' 'Oh how I loved this book. David Sedaris and his adventures in learning to speak French made me cry with laughter, especially the terrifying teacher at the language classes' 'Why have I not discovered him before'

Me Talk Pretty One Day

'Unquestionably the king of comic writing . . . Calypso is both funnier and more heartbreaking than pretty much anything out there' Hadley Freeman, Guardian A New York Times Notable Book of 2018 If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny - it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's writing has never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future. This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumour joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet - and it just might be his very best.

From the unique perspective of David Sedaris comes a new book of essays taking his readers on a bizarre and stimulating world tour. From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences. Whether railing against the habits of litterers in the English countryside or marveling over a disembodied human arm in a taxidermist's shop, Sedaris takes us on side-splitting adventures that are not to be forgotten.

David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall

In David Sedaris's world, no one is safe and no cow is sacred. A manic cross between Mark Leyner, Fran Lebowitz and the National Enquirer, Sedaris's collection of stories and essays is a rollicking tour through the American Zeitgeist: a man who is loved too much flees the heavyweight champion of the world; a teenage suicide tried to incite a lynch mob at her funeral; and in his essays, David Sedaris considers the hazards of rewards of smoking, writing for Giantess magazine, and living with his scrappy brother Paul, aka 'The Rooster'. With a perfect eye and a voice infused with as much empathy as wit, Sedaris writes and reads stories and essays that target the soulful ridiculousness of our behaviour. Barrel Fever is like a blind date with modern life - and anything can happen.

Barrel Fever

A riotous collection of memoirs which explores the absurd hilarity of modern life and creates a wickedly incisive portrait of an all-too-familiar world. It takes Sedaris from his humiliating bout with obsessive behaviour in 'A Plague of Tics' to the title story, where he is finally forced to face his naked self in the company of lunatics. At this soulful and moving moment, he brushes cigarette ashes from his pubic hair and wonders what it all means. This remarkable journey into his own life follows a path of self-effacement and a lifelong search for identity leaving himself both under suspicion and over dressed.

Naked

No one renders the pathos, chaos, and impossible variety of daily encounters like David Sedaris.  On every subject, he is bruisingly painful and tenderly affectionate. Sedaris is unique in American writing, and these readings of his own work are highly skilled performances. This new collection will be eagerly anticipated by his ever-growing crowd of devoted fans.

Meet David Sedaris: Series One

HOLIDAYS ON ICE collects six of David Sedaris's most profound Christmas stories into one slender volume, perfect for use as a last-minute coaster or ice scraper. This drinking man's companion can be enjoyed by the warmth of a raging fire, the glow of a brilliantly decorated tree, or even in the backseat of a van or police car.

Holidays On Ice

David Sedaris's remarkable ability to uncover the hilarious absurdity teeming just below the surface of everyday life is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this new book of stories. Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life - the etiquette of having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger or how to soundproof your windows with LP covers against neurotic songbirds - to the most deeply resonant human truths. Taking in the parasitic worm that once lived in his mother-in-law's leg, an encounter with a dingo and the purchase of a human skeleton, and culminating in a brilliant account of his attempt to quit smoking - in Tokyo - David Sedaris's sixth story collection is a fresh masterpiece of comic writing.

When You Are Engulfed In Flames

This collection of sharply observed animal-themed tales is a delight, told with David Sedaris's trademark blend of hilarity and goodnaturedness. Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of our own everyday interactions. In 'The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck', three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In 'Hello Kitty', a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In 'The Squirrel and the Chipmunk', a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'He's like an American Alan Bennett, in that his own fastidiousness becomes the joke, as per the taxi encounter, or his diary entry about waiting interminably in a coffee-bar queue' Guardian review of An Evening with David Sedaris The point is to find out who you are and to be true to that person. Because so often you can't. Won't people turn away if they know the real me? you wonder. The me that hates my own child, that put my perfectly healthy dog to sleep? The me who thinks, deep down, that maybe The Wire was overrated? For nearly four decades, David Sedaris has faithfully kept a diary in which he records his thoughts and observations on the odd and funny events he witnesses. Anyone who has attended a live Sedaris event knows that his diary readings are often among the most joyful parts of the evening. But never before have they been available in print. Now, in Theft by Finding, Sedaris brings us his favorite entries. From the family home in Ralegh, North Carolina, we follow Sedaris as he sets out to make his way in the world. As an art student and then teacher in Chicago he works at a succession of very odd jobs, meeting even odder people, before moving to New York to pursue a career as a writer - where instead he very quickly lands a job in Macy's department store as an elf in Santaland... Tender, hilarious, illuminating, and endlessly captivating, Theft by Finding offers a rare look into the mind of one of our generation's greatest comic geniuses.

Theft by Finding

Quan la teva vida queda marcada pels abusos familiars i les morts de persones estimades, l'humor esdevé un escut per defensar i una espasa per ferir. La comicitat de Sedaris és una arma de doble tall, que tant pot traspuar la tendresa de l'innocent com la fredor de qui té el pare sedat abans de morir. Imaginem-nos-ho: «Soc un zombi», li diu el pare al caire de la mort, i a ell només li surt de dir: «En realitat, no. Els zombis caminen i mengen sòlid. Tu ets més aviat un vegetal».

Panxacontent

Si mai us heu trencat de riure llegint els relats còmics i misantròpics de David Sedaris i potser pensàveu que sabíeu on us ficàveu amb la lectura de Calipso, us equivocaríeu. Quan compra una casa de platja a la costa de Carolina, Sedaris simagina que hi passarà llargues vacances relaxants, jugant a jocs de taula i prenent el sol amb la gent que estima. I la vida a la seva segona residència és exactament tan idíllica com shavia afigurat, tret duna evidència minúscula i irritant: és impossible fer vacances dun mateix. Amb Calipso, Sedaris dirigeix les seves fenomenals dots dobservació cap a la mitjana edat i la mortalitat. Però no us equivoqueu: aquests relats són divertidíssims és un llibre que us pot fer arribar a roncar de tant de riure, com només ho pot fer la família. Lescriptura de Sedaris no havia estat mai tan afinada, i la seva capacitat descandalitzar el lector i provocar-li una riallada no té parallelisme. Però gran part de la comicitat en aquest volum parteix del moment vertiginós en què el propi cos et traeix i tadones que la història de la teva vida està més formada de passat que de futur. Es tracta de literatura de platja per a gent que detesta la platja, lectura obligatòria per als qui avorreixen la xerrameca i aprecien un bon acudit sobre tumors. Calipso és el llibre de Sedaris més mordaç i tendre alhora; i podria molt ben ser el millor.

Calipso

Sinds 1977 houdt David Sedaris dagboeken bij waarin hij zijn gedachten over en observaties van alledaagse perikelen bijhoudt. Als je Sedaris live hebt gezien weet je dat zijn dagboeklezingen de hoogtepunten van de avond zijn; nu zijn die hoogtepunten eindelijk voor iedereen beschikbaar. Gestolen voorwerpen, een selectie grappige, verhelderende en altijd intrigerende verhalen uit de dagboeken, geeft een volledig beeld van een van de grootste humoristen van onze generatie.

Gestolen voorwerpen

'Een van mijn lievelingsschrijvers.' Sylvia Witteman 'Onbetwist de koning van komische verhalen.' The Guardian Het staat buiten kijf dat David Sedaris een van de grappigste mensen op de planeet is. Maar nog meer dan zijn humor is het zijn manier van observeren die hem wereldwijd geliefd en veelgelezen maken. Door zijn ogen wordt een bezoek aan een schietcursus, het ziekbed van zijn vader, een Servische markt of een zomer op het Franse platteland een mustread. Zo ook zijn herkenbare verslagen over het leven tijdens en na de lockdowns ('O nee, ik haat mensen nu meer dan tijdens de lockdown. Ik was voetgangers die appen tijdens het lopen vergeten!'). Happy-go-lucky is een tijdloze bundel door een van de weinige humoristen wiens werk in elk taal overeind blijft, getuigen de meer dan tien miljoen boeken in meer dan vijfentwintig talen. Als we dan toch in interessante tijden moeten leven, is er niemand die ze beter kan beschrijven dan de onvergelijkbare David Sedaris. Van de boeken van David Sedaris zijn wereldwijd meer dan 10 miljoen exemplaren verkocht. 'Zelden heb ik zo gelachen als met David Sedaris in College Tour. Niet alleen is zijn proza hilarisch, vilein en onweerstaanbaar humoristisch, op een podium draait Sedaris zijn publiek pas echt om de vinger. Nu raakt hij de lezer midscheeps met zijn nieuwe verhalenbundel Happy-go-lucky. Het titelverhaal over zijn vader die langzaam wegkwijnt in een verpleeghuis is ontroerend, tragikomisch inclusief weergaloze slotzin.' Twan Huys

Happy-go-lucky

"Hauskin elossa oleva ihminen." - Time Out New York David Sedaris on Amerikan parhaiten myyviä huumorikirjailijoita, jolla on verraton kyky yllättää lukija hauskoilla ja hämmentävillä huomioilla arjen absurdiudesta. Hän on tullut tunnetuksi omaelämäkerrallisista, hilpeän ihmisvihaisista tarinoistaan, joissa kukkii musta huumori. Ensimmäisessä suomeksi julkaistavassa kirjassaan Calypso Sedaris tarkkailee keski-ikäistä, vääjäämättä rapistuvaa ruumiistaan - ja siinä sivussa sisarustensa rupsahtamista. Hän myös ajautuu outoihin tilanteisiin ja kummallisiin keskusteluihin esimerkiksi jäädessään koukkuun askelmittariin, selvittäessään maailman törkeintä solvausta ja saadessaan lievän pakkomielteen valtavan näykkijäkilpikonnan ruokkimisesta. Calypso pääsi ilmestymisvuonnaan New York Timesin vuoden tärkeimpien kirjojen listalle ja oli Washington Postin vuoden paras kirja. David Sedaris on huikean ansioitunut yhdysvaltalainen kirjailija ja esiintyjä, joka asuu nykyisin Englannissa. Hänen kirjojaan on myyty yli 16 miljoonaa kappaletta, ja niitä on käännetty 32 kielelle. Useasti palkittu Sedaris on valittu muun muassa Time-lehden vuoden humoristiksi, ja hän on ollut äänikirjoillaan viidesti ehdolla Grammy-palkinnon saajaksi. Hän kuuluu arvostettuun Yhdysvaltain taide- ja kirjallisuusakatemiaan, jonka jäsenet valitaan eliniäksi. Hän avustaa säännöllisesti New Yorkerissa ja BBC Radio 4:ssä.

David Sedaris è una figura di riferimento fondamentale per la cultura americana contemporanea. La comicità soave, crudele, disincantata, intelligente e terribile di questo eterno ragazzo offre la più irresistibile chiave di lettura dell'assurdità del mondo di oggi. Leggere e ridere, ridere a crepapelle e tornare a leggere: il personalissimo humor caustico di Sedaris, venato da una sensibilità a tratti addirittura commovente, rende la lettura di questi racconti un'avventura davvero gratificante (oltre che esilarante). Ogni episodio è un'occasione per le sue divagazioni acuminate, a volte oltraggiose e sarcastiche, ma sempre divertentissime. Ironiche senza essere ciniche, spassose senza essere autoindulgenti o gratuite, misurate ed eccessive al tempo stesso, le storie di Sedaris rappresentano i "Grandi Romanzi americani" del nostro tempo.

Me parlare bello un giorno

C'è stata un'epoca nella quale i menu dei ristoranti erano stampati su carta e in cui uno si chiedeva se indossare o no una maschera solo la vigilia di Halloween. In quel tempo, non così distante da oggi, David Sedaris passava le sue giornate facendo cose normali. Insomma, più o meno normali. Poi è arrivata la pandemia e anche lui si è ritrovato bloccato in isolamento forzato, senza la possibilità di andare in tournée e di fare le sue letture pubbliche nei teatri (la parte del suo lavoro che preferisce). Per sopravvivere, ha finito per macinare instancabilmente chilometri e chilometri in una città quasi deserta, ha passato l'aspirapolvere nel suo appartamento due volte al giorno e ha riflettuto a lungo su come le lavoratrici del sesso e gli agopuntori potessero cavarsela durante la quarantena. Ora, alle prese con una realtà che si sta stabilizzando in nuove forme, anche Sedaris si riscopre cambiato. Dopo aver offerto invano a uno sconosciuto di pagargli un intervento per rimettersi a posto i denti assai disastrati, decide di raddrizzare i propri, di denti, e si avventura nel mondo con rinnovata fiducia. Rimasto orfano, riflette su cosa significhi, nel suo settimo decennio di vita, non essere più il figlio di qualcuno. In queste pagine irresistibili, Sedaris ci racconta il lato inaspettato, assurdo e toccante dei recenti sconvolgimenti, personali e pubblici, ed esprime con un linguaggio preciso e disarmante la misantropia e il desiderio di connessione che ci guidano. Se proprio dobbiamo vivere in tempi interessanti, non c'è nessuno meglio dell'impareggiabile David Sedaris per raccontarli.

Cuor contento il ciel lo aiuta

EL MÁXIMO EXPONENTE DE LA TRAGICOMEDIA AMERICANA «Un precioso antídoto contra la tristeza o el miedo. Sedaris lo merece todo.» BOB POP «Humor devastador para contar cosas tristes. Falsa frivolidad que transforma lo banal en reflexivo.» SERGI PÀMIES No es fácil ser David Sedaris. Crecer en una familia que cree que el televisor es el diablo. Con una madre capaz de encerrarte fuera de casa en plena nevada. Jugando al strip poker cuando aún eres un niño. Pendiente de aquella tía ricachona. Haciéndote pasar por un hippy preadolescente. Siendo expulsado de tu propia casa por ser homosexual. O duramente criticado por convertir a tu familia, todas sus desternillantes y tragicómicas miserias, en el tema de lo que escribes. En la razón para ser el autor humorístico vivo más exitoso del planeta. No es fácil ser David Sedaris. Pero lo complicado sería un mundo sin él, sin relatos autobiográficos como estas 22 joyas, que nos demuestran que la risa es la respuesta más válida ante lo inesperado, lo absurdo de la vida, lo temible de lo más cercano y, claro, lo involuntariamente gracioso.

Vestido de domingo

Sedaris se va a la playa, en la costa de Carolina, para intentar desconectar de todo, pero no puede huir de sí mismo. Ni de su familia. Ni de su trabajo. Ni de su adicción a la pulserita que le cuenta los pasos. Ni del suicidio de su hermana. Ni de su padre de derechas. Ni de Donald Trump. ¿La única solución? Reírse de sí mismo y de sus miserias como catarsis necesaria para seguir viviendo. Según The Guardian, el diario británico más prestigioso, «David Sedaris es el rey indiscutible de la literatura humorística». Y Calypso es su obra definitiva, la que contiene toda su risa, toda su melancolía. Chistes escatológicos con una prosa digna de Dorothy Parker, animales acomplejados, fantasmas alcohólicos y toda la ternura del mundo. Un libro sobre ese instante en el que te das cuenta de que tu vida tiene mucho más pasado que futuro. Y echas la vista atrás, mientras sonríes.

EL MÁXIMO EXPONENTE DE LA TRAGICOMEDIA AMERICANA «Un precioso antídoto contra la tristeza o el miedo. Sedaris lo merece todo.» BOB POP «Humor devastador para contar cosas tristes. Falsa frivolidad que transforma lo banal en reflexivo.» SERGI PÀMIES Después del éxito de Calypso, publicamos por fin la nueva obra de David Sedaris, maestro del humor cínico y tierno, un éxito apabullante en Estados Unidos. Un relato que empieza con la llegada de la pandemia y que luego pasa a reflexionar sobre la muerte de su padre y el significado de quedar huérfano. Tan precisa como tierna, tan misántropa como humanista, Estoy bien es la gran obra maestra de David Sedaris. Mientras la salud de su padre se extingue poco a poco, Sedaris trata de abrazar todo el absurdo que contiene la realidad. Se apunta a un campo de tiro con su hermana, hace un tour por Europa del Este en compañía de varios guías de pasado oscuro, ve cómo un huracán se lleva su casa, da un discurso de graduación en la universidad con el que nadie contaba y repiensa el amor desde todas las perspectivas posibles. Según The Guardian, el diario británico más prestigioso, «David Sedaris es el rey indiscutible de la literatura humorística». Vida, muerte, familias que hacen lo que pueden, chistes de alto riesgo, relaciones de larga duración y acupunturistas desesperados. Un libro que más que un libro es una forma de mirar el mundo, protagonizado por un hombre que atraviesa la presidencia de Trump, la pandemia y los disturbios del Black Lives Matter con una nube de melancolía lloviéndole por encima, pero procurando reír hasta que le duela.

Estoy bien
