Award-Winning Humorist David Sedaris Coming to Pomona
College
|
 |
Award-winning humorist David Sedaris will speak at Pomona
College on Thursday, Oct. 26, at 8 p.m. Sedaris was the 2001 recipient of
the Thurber Prize for American Humor and Time magazine
“Humorist of the Year,” also in 2001. In 2005 he was
nominated for two Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Word Album
and Best Comedy Album.
 Sedaris, now a best-selling author, first caught nationwide
attention in 1992 when he appeared on National Public Radio
describing his experiences working as a department store
Christmas Elf. In 1995, he published his first book, Barrel
Fever, a collection of essays that includes a revisit to his
working days in “SantaLand.” Since then, Sedaris has
published three best-sellers: Holidays on Ice (1998),
Naked
(1998), and Me Talk Pretty One Day (2001). Sedaris’ essays
regularly appear in Esquire and The New Yorker. He is also a
commentator on NPR. Re-runs of Sedaris’ original radio
commentaries can be heard on the Chicago Public Radio show
This American Life, at www.thislife.org.
The Sedaris show will be held at Bridges Auditorium, located
on the Pomona College campus (450 N. College Way,
Claremont). Tickets for Sedaris’ performance can be
