Read all about Vomit-Eating Flies, according to David Sedaris

David Sedaris is one of the funniest memoirists I have read. Hearing Sedaris read from his journal at the Sydney Opera House several years ago is one of the highlights of any live performance I have seen (up there with Billy Connolly, at the same venue as it happens. Sadly, not the same night).



His recent collection of short stories Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Wicked Bestiary is a fun read (but not one for the kids!). Although it is available as an ebook, these animal inspired short stories are VERY 'Sedaristic', and I feel this is a must for a real -- not a virtual -- bookshelf, and I have the hardback on mine. It's funny, raunchy and witty.

If you want a teaser, The Telegraph published this story last month to celebrate the Hay Festival. Please read, and laugh. And their interview is here.

Or hear Sedaris introduce his book here. Sedaris is at his very best when you can hear him read!
