David Sedaris


Question Posted Wednesday August 11 2004, 10:56 am

This is guy is so wacked man. What are you doing your paper on? I think he spent like 3 hours at my work signing books. He smokes only Kool cigarettes, and writes bizzaro messages in your book.

dude, that's awsome, you gotta be joking.
My report is going to be on a couple of his short stories, mostly taken from "Me Talk Pretty One Day" I've been thinking about 'Go Carolina', 'See You Again Yesterday', 'Jesus Shaves', I also love 'Ashes' from "Naked" and when he became a Macy's Christmas Elf is great too. The problem I'm having is finding literary sources on David Sedaris himself. My teacher said that I should find sources on satire and humor and it's effect on literature. When you said he only smokes Kool cigarettes, it reminded me of 'See You Again Yesterday'. He is going through his long list of what any potential boyfriends must have, and one was that they absolutely cannot smoke Merit cigarrettes. Apparently He's very particular about his brand of cigs.
Are you a fan of his? Him writing bizzaro messages in the books doesn't surprise me at all, when you think about what his books are actually about.
Do you have any ideas on what would be deserving of a David Sedaris essay?
