A reader tipped me off to what looks like a really interesting book:
In this richly illustrated book, readers will for the first time experience the diaries David Sedaris has kept for nearly 40 years in the elaborate, three-dimensional, collaged style of the originals. A celebration of the unexpected in the everyday, the beautiful and the grotesque, this visual compendium offers unique insight into the author’s view of the world and stands as a striking and collectible volume in itself.
The diaries seem almost like scrapbooks, with lots of stuff pasted in, and typewritten entries. Sedaris binds them together with plastic comb spines or wire spirals.
Buy on Amazon: David Sedaris Diaries
Thanks to David for this great tip!
There is no book of David Sedaris’s I have not read !
Thank you for this! I just put a hold on it at my library!
You can get this on Amazon, sure, but give your local bookseller a chance! I’ve looked through this volume and while it is A very cool piece, you need to have that voyeuristic urge that makes you want to read diaries or you’re just a David Sedaris nut.
