In his latest book of essays, THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE, David Sedaris returns to form after his bleak 2022 collection, HAPPY-GO-LUCKY. This perpetual “Stranger in a Strange Land” observes life post-COVID, both here and abroad, with his signature wit and wry humor. Sedaris longs for the days of civility in travel and bristles at his role of caregiver after his partner’s surgery. He and his close friend, Dawn, discuss how they would endeavor to eat an entire car tire if they had to.
