“Genius… It is miraculous to read these pieces… You must read The Best of Me.” —Andrew Sean Greer, New York Times Book Review. David Sedaris’s best stories and essays, selected by the author, include a new essay and have been recognized as a CNN and Christian Science Monitor Best Book of the Month. For over twenty-five years, Sedaris has carved out a unique literary space, blending confessional storytelling with keen observations of the world around us, often eliciting laughter. This collection showcases his funniest and most memorable work, featuring escapades like shopping for rare taxidermy, hitchhiking with a lady quadriplegic, and hand-feeding a carnivorous bird. While renowned for his sharp comedy, Sedaris also infuses warmth and fellow-feeling into his writing, particularly when reflecting on his loved ones. He explores themes of love, aging, and loss, revealing the complexities of life’s surprises. Each story illustrates that experiences can be unexpected, often richer and more wonderful than anticipated. Full of joy, generosity, and incisive humor, this collection invites readers into the world of one of the most original writers of our time, showcasing a career of observation, learning, and laughter.
