SUMMARY:An Evening with David Sedaris
DESCRIPTION:With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques\, David Sedar
 is has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. The great skil
 l with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correct
 ness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most obser
 vant writers addressing the human condition today. Writer and Humorist D
 AVID SEDARIS is confirmed for a return visit\, this time to the State Th
 eatre at 7:00 PM on Saturday\, October 17. With sardonic wit and incisiv
 e social critiques\, David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-emine
 nt humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural 
 euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of 
 satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condit
 ion today. In THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE\, his first new collection since H
 APPY-GO-LUCKY\, David Sedaris reflects on what it means to be a foreigne
 r\, a brother\, a lifelong friend. He tries on the role of caretaker aft
 er his boyfriend Hugh's hip-replacement surgery\, and both succeeds and 
 fails. He buys his sister a cape and discusses his brother with a jaded 
 Duolingo bot. He walks dozens of miles with his friend Dawn and challeng
 es her to eat a truck tire. 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 Vatican City\, and goes on safari in Kenya without 
 taking a single photo. There is sadness here — scrolling through his add
 ress book\, he realizes how many dear friends are now deceased — but als
 o delight: he revels in authors’ biographies\, the malapropism that beco
 mes a decades-long inside joke\, and pair of well-made cot-ton underpant
 s. He is bitten by a dog. A train passenger vomits in his face. A woman 
 on the street late at night either sexually harasses him or doesn’t. Loo
 k how hard it is to be alive! Throughout these essays — at once acerbic 
 and tender\, playful and profound — Sedaris shows how much there is to m
 arvel at when you keep your head up and your eyes open\, observing with 
 warmth and curiosity this fascinating human species and the lands we inh
 abit.\n\nTickets: https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/060064BACF4AC074\n\
