I love David Sedaris. It doesn't bother me a bit that I have heard most of these stories dozens of times already--I will gladly listen again. My favorites are the stories about life in France and any time his brother Paul appears.

The interview at the end was quite nice. One thing I appreciate about Sedaris is that he openly admits that he is a self-absorbed scumbag, and well, aren't we all. It's freeing, in a way, to admit that ugly side of ourselves, and I think the humor comes from seeing the naked emperor who doesn't yet realize how pitiful he is. In the interview, Sedaris was asked if he believes all the other jerks he writes about are good people having a bad day, or what. He said that people, when caught and publicly shamed, always insist, "That's not who I am." But the honest answer would be, "That's exactly who I am and I'm sorry I didn't keep him inside."
