David Sedaris first shared his very particular world view having brought us The SantaLand Diaries back in 1996.

David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humour writers and, in 2019, was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. 

The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that he's a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.

Producer: Steve Doherty

A Giddy Goat production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in March 2021.
