Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays (1994) Holidays
On Ice (1997)
Collects six of David Sedaris' most profound
Christmas stories into one slender volume perfect for use as a
last-minute coaster or ice scraper. This drinking man's companion can be
enjoyed by the warmth of a raging fire, the glow of a brilliantly
decorated tree, or even the backseat of a van or police car. It should
be read with your eyes, felt with your heart, and heard only when spoken
to. It should, in short, behave much like a book. And, oh, what a book
it is! Naked (1997) Santaland Diaries & Seasons Greetings: 2 Plays (1998)
Me Talk Pretty One Day (2000) -- Winner
2000 Lambda Literary Award for
Humor
A new collection from David Sedaris is cause for
jubilation. His recent move to Paris has inspired hilarious pieces,
including Me Talk Pretty One Day, about his attempts to learn French.
His family is another inspiration. You Cant Kill the Rooster is a
portrait of his brother who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his
bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such
modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers and
cashiers with 6-inch fingernails. Compared by The New Yorker to Twain
and Hawthorne, Sedaris has become one of our best-loved authors.
The Book of Liz (2002) with Amy Sedaris Untitled Collection (2003 release)
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim (2004) --
Winner 2004 Lambda Literary Award
for Humor
Hilarious, elegant, and surprisingly
moving tales of all too ordinary madness......Do yourself a favor and
rush out to read the damn book for yourself.' -Washington Post In this
phenomenal #1 bestseller, David Sedaris plays in the snow with his
sisters. He goes on vacation with his family. He gets a job selling
drinks. He attends his brother's wedding. He mops his sister's floor. He
gives directions to a lost traveler. He eats a hamburger. He has his
blood sugar tested. It all sounds so normal, doesn't it?
Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules
(2005)
collection of the short stories David Sedaris
loves most. Containing the work of both contemporary and classic
writers, CHILDREN PLAYING BEFORE A STATUE OF HERCULES,
edited and introduced by Sedaris, gives his legions of fans a glimpse at
the writing he finds inspiring - and helps them discover the truth about
loneliness, hope, love, betrayal, and certain, but not all, monkeys.
David Sedaris fell in love with short stories while
living in Odell, Oregon. Sedaris writes, "When apple-picking season
ended, I got a job in a packing plant and gravitated toward short
stories, which I could read during my break and reflect upon for the
remainder of my shift. A good one would take me out of myself and stuff
me back in, outsized, now, and uneasy with the fit." Featuring such
notable writers as Alice Munro, Tobias Wolff, Lorrie Moore, and Joyce
Carol Oates, readers will reconnect with classics, as well discover
fantastic but lesser-known writers.

David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall
(2003)
If you are driving, pull over. If you are at work,
close your door-unless you don't mind your colleagues seeing you doubled
over, in tears, on your office floor. With this CD, taped before a
delirious sold out audience at Carnegie Hall, you are there as David
Sedaris performs new stories from his upcoming book. A parrot who mimics
an ice maker, lovers quarreling over a rubber hand, and a Santa Claus
who moonlights from his job as bishop of Turkey-the cast of characters
in these stories is like no other. This new work will appeal to David's
loyal fans as well as admirers of the classic comedy albums of George
Carlin, Bill Cosby and Steve Martin.

Chip Kidd: Book One: Work, 1986-2006
(2005)
With contributions by David Sedaris,
Donna Tartt, and
Elmore Leonard
Described as "the closest thing to a rock star"
in graphic design today (USA Today), Chip Kidd is universally recognized
as an American master of contemporary book design. At the forefront of a
revolution in publishing, Kidd's iconic covers, with their inventive
marriage of type and found images, have influenced an entire generation
of design practitioners in many fields. Chip Kidd: Book One collects all
of his book covers and designs for the first time, as well as hundreds
of developmental sketches and concepts-annotated by Kidd and by many of
the best-selling authors he's worked with over the years. The result is
an important contribution to the design canon today as well as a
visually dazzling (and often hilarious) insider's look at the design and
publishing process. The book also showcases Kidd's work with comics and
graphic novels, including his collaborations with leading artists and
writers in the field. Featured are projects for DC Comics, including
Batman and Superman, as well as Kidd's award-winning exploration of the
art of Charles M. Schulz. Chip Kidd: Book One is sure to enthrall design
aficionados, book lovers, pop-culture fanatics, comics fans, and design
students.
