Fans have a chance to share a laugh with award-winning author, David Sedaris, in-person, Wednesday, October 9^th at the Phillips Center in Gainesville. Book signings will precede and follow the author’s reading. David Sedaris will catch you off guard with his irreverent laugh-out-loud storytelling. His humor is often autobiographical and self-deprecating, delivered in a distinctively sardonic voice.
