SUMMARY:An Evening with David Sedaris
DESCRIPTION:Writer and Humorist DAVID SEDARIS is confirmed for a return v
 isit\, this time to the State Theatre at 7:00 PM on Saturday\, October 1
 7. With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques\, David Sedaris has b
 ecome one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with w
 hich he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness pro
 ves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant wri
 ters addressing the human condition today. Author's website In THE LAND 
 AND ITS PEOPLE\, his first new collection since HAPPY-GO-LUCKY\, David S
 edaris reflects on what it means to be a foreigner\, a brother\, a lifel
 ong friend. He tries on the role of caretaker after his boyfriend Hugh's
  hip-replacement surgery\, and both succeeds and fails. He buys his sist
 er a cape and discusses his brother with a jaded Duolingo bot. He walks 
 dozens of miles with his friend Dawn and challenges her to eat a truck t
 ire. Ever adding to his list of "Countries I Have Been To\," he rides a 
 horse named Tequila in Guatemala\, buys a bespoke priest’s cassock in Va
 tican City\, and goes on safari in Kenya without taking a single photo. 
 There is sadness here — scrolling through his address book\, he realizes
  how many dear friends are now deceased — but also delight: he revels in
  authors’ biographies\, the malapropism that becomes a decades-long insi
 de joke\, and pair of well-made cot-ton underpants. He is bitten by a do
 g. A train passenger vomits in his face. A woman on the street late at n
 ight either sexually harasses him or doesn’t. Look how hard it is to be 
 alive! Throughout these essays — at once acerbic and tender\, playful an
 d profound — Sedaris shows how much there is to marvel at when you keep 
 your head up and your eyes open\, observing with warmth and curiosity th
 is fascinating human species and the lands we inhabit.\n\nTickets: https
