Autobiography: general
David Sedaris returns with his first new collection of personal essays since the bestselling Calypso.
'It's hard to think of a better living practitioner of hilarious honesty than David Sedaris' The Times
In Happy-Go-Lucky, David Sedaris once again captures what is most unexpected, hilarious, and poignant about recent upheavals, personal and public, and expresses in precise language both the misanthropy and desire for connection that drive us all. If we must live in interesting times, there is no one better to chronicle them than the incomparable David Sedaris.
'Unquestionably the king of comic writing'
HADLEY FREEMAN, Guardian
'Although Sedaris is famous for being funny, he does pain heartbreakingly well'
MELISSA KATSOULIS, The Times
'His wickedly hilarious riffs are pyrotechnics in words'
PETER CONRAD, Observer
