ONE OF THREE DOUBLE PASSES TO DAVID SEDARIS'S SOLD OUT TALK AT THE OPERA HOUSE ON MON AUG 18, 6.30PM. JUST EMAIL WIN@TWOTHOUSAND.COM.AU WITH THE SUBJECT 'CATHETER ON THE OUTSIDE'
Reading David Sedaris is like sharing those rare moments with friends; when you laugh so hard at someone's self-deprecating recollection of their misfortune that your eyes bleed. It's also like you've been reborn in a world where you're wearing an external catheter designed for sports fans because you like to accessorise.
That's one of Sedaris's stranger recollections in his new book WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES. It's a credit to his ability as a writer that an audience can empathise with his bizarre habits.
For the uninitiated, David Sedaris is an autobiographical writer whose prose shares intimate, personal experiences in a unique, sardonic way. He's known as a contributor to THIS AMERICAN LIFE and NPR, and has a couple of Grammy nominations under his sleeve. He's going to be reading live at the Opera House next week. Catheters are optional.
