Before the pandemic, David Sedaris spent his time doing normal things, but stuck in lockdown, unable to tour and read for audiences his world (like many other peoples) gradually settled into a new reality . . .
David Sedaris once again captures what is most unexpected, hilarious, and poignant about a number of upheavals (both personal and public), expressing in precise language both the misanthropy and the desire for connection that drives us all in Happy-Go-Lucky, an entirely new collection of personal essays.
“Sedaris’ signature wit has always thrived on the macabre, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that Happy-Go-Lucky is some of his darkest (and most astute) writing yet. No topic is out of bounds for Sedaris’ acerbic humor and sharp observations.” -- Time
