Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. A master of the pregnant pause and king of cockeyed deadpan, Sedaris is at the top of his game in these five live performances, delivered in cities across the U.S. The disc includes one of his animal fables, as well as trenchant observations about his life in France and his travels during his author tours. As mundane an experience as shopping at Costco provides as many opportunities for humor, meditations on his past, and appreciation for the bizarre as does the time Sedaris fed a kookaburra outside an Australian restaurant. The brisk and endlessly entertaining listen again proves that mere readers of Sedaris are missing out. (Dec.)

Review

Sedaris's sparkling essays always shimmer ore brightly when read aloud by the author. And his expert timing, mimicry and droll asides are never more polished than during live performances in front of an audience. (Publishers Weekly - Starred Review for WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES )

"A master of the pregnant pause and king of cockeyed deadpan, Sedaris is at the top of his game in these five live performances...The brisk and endlessly entertaining listen again proves that mere readers of Sedaris are missing out." (Publishers Weekly )

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!, November 26, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I listened to this cd this morning by myself, and found myself laughing out loud many times. David is in fine form, and is as hilarious as ever. Reading his books is one thing, but listening to him read them takes it to a whole new level of funny! I can't say enough good things about this cd. If you're a fan, I predict you'll love this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars After years of waiting: nee ha RAH gua!, December 23, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I heard David Sedaris speak in San Diego a couple of years ago and he read Innocents Abroad, which covers tracks 6 through 8 on this CD. As soon as we got home that night I looked on the web, and to my horror it was not available. I looked through American Lives archives in case they'd gotten a clue and recorded him reading this; I searched YouTube; I wrote his agency; I did everything but stalk Mr. Sedaris to try and locate this hilarious story about pretentious accents, to no avail. I received the CD tonight and listened to the story again, and now my holiday is complete. I don't care what happens for the rest of the year. Thank you, Mr. Sedaris and the Barclay Agency, for finally providing this!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sedaris Relief, January 18, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Perfect timing,having been a David fan for years, The CD Live For Your Listening Pleasure arrived just before I was 'snowbound' for the holidays. It's always a comforting pleasure to hear David's voice and appreciate his keen sense of humor. I'll never be able to look at flight attendants without thinking of 'crop dusting' Thank you David Sedaris from David Caris
