Very entertaining stories from the Maestro

Great listening as always. Funny and nostalgic from David Sedaris' journeys around the US A and Europe

Drafts For His Later Book

This was good but there wasn’t much that I hadn’t heard already and the lockdown meant that there was no audience for the performances which changes the dynamic quite a lot. A lot of these pieces can be found in a more polished and finished form in Happy Go Lucky; his latest work that’s fantastic and profound as always. Buy that instead.
