Es bietet sich an, eine klassische Redewendung zu bemühen: Aller guten Dinge sind drei. Zweimal - im März 2016 und September 2017 - hat der amerikanische Bestseller-Autor David Sedaris schon im ausverkauften Gartenbaukino aus seinen Werken gelesen. Das Publikum war beide Male rundum begeistert. Mr. Sedaris war es auch - und kehrt immer wieder gern zurück und bei uns ein.
Und so können wir mit großer Freude zum dritten Mal AN EVENING WITH DAVID SEDARIS ankündigen. David Sedaris wird am 10. September 2019 aus seinem neuen Buch Calypso lesen.
With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. He is the master of satire and one of today’s most observant writers addressing the human condition. Calypso, his latest collection of essays, is a New York Times best-seller, and a Washington Post Best Book of the Year. The audiobook of Calypso has been nominated for a 2019 Grammy in the Best Spoken Word Album category.
With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny–it’s a book that can make you laugh ’til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris’s powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future.
This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris’s darkest and warmest book yet–and it just might be his very best.

"Sedaris’s droll assessment of the mundane and the eccentrics who inhabit the world’s crevices make him one of the greatest humorists writing today."
Chicago Tribune
"Sedaris belongs on any list of people writing in English at the moment who are revising our ideas about what’s funny."
