Title: Theft by Finding Pdf Diaries (1977-2002)
One of the most anticipated books of 2017: New York Times Book Review, New York's Vulture, Bustle, and BookRiot.
From best-selling author David Sedaris, for the first time in print: selections from the diaries that are the source of his remarkable autobiographical essays.
For nearly four decades, David Sedaris has faithfully kept a diary in which he records his thoughts and observations on the odd and funny events he witnesses. Anyone who has attended a live Sedaris event knows that his diary readings are often among the most joyful parts of the evening. But never before have they been available in print. Now, in Theft by Finding, Sedaris brings us his favorite entries. From deeply poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, these selections reveal with new intimacy a man longtime fans only think they know. Tender, hilarious, illuminating, and endlessly captivating, Theft by Finding offers a rare look into the mind of one of our generation's greatest comic geniuses.
The PG Woodhouse syndrome David has become the PG Woodhouse of his era. Unfortunately, this includes publishing SOME reruns. Great writing as always and some tales are new. But you will be frustrated when you recognize you read that story before. I LOVE David but he needs to get out more.Great read for David Sedaris fans If you've read all of David Sedaris' books, attended one or more of of his performances, followed him on NPR or have read his magazine articles, you'll enjoy this book. I loved looking back on his younger years and early observations--and especially loved seeing his list of dreams and goals, and how many of them came to fruition. He also gave us a deeper view into his mom's alcohol addiction and his sister Tiffany's mental illness. I'd recommend this specifically to his fans and followers and look forward to reading his next 15+ years of diaries. I rated it 5 stars because I couldn't put it down and laughed a lot in the middle of the night. He just never disappoints.Enjoyable on so many levels Not only funny, but insightful, because I really find David's history and life and how he became who he is today to be fascinating. To say that I'm a fan of David Sedaris is to understate my devotion, because I literally cannot get enough of his work. I first saw David in person in a small bookstore, in Berkeley, before he made it big, and have delighted in seeing his success since. Whether reading or listening, I do it over and over. So true to form, I first bought this book, then downloaded it as an audio. I listened to it while driving 800 miles recently on a grim journey, and it was just the thing to lighten a tough time. David's voice is half the fun, but it's just as fun to read it in written form. I can't wait for the next issue, 2003-2017.
