Theft by Finding: David Sedaris If you haven’t discovered David Sedaris reading on Radio 4 yet then do it right now, without delay. This new collected edition of his diaries will have you snorting on the tube and reading aloud to your colleagues during lunch break. Annalisa Quinn explains why for NPR reviews: “It’s relentlessly interesting to read about daily life in a time that’s within memory but somehow also impossibly far away — not only the wildly different attitudes towards homosexuality, but all the weird stuff they (we) ate, the fact that people were named things like ‘Ronnie,’ that typing was considered a skill, that people were always just calling each other up and stopping by, without texting first…It could be dull, but instead it’s mesmerizing, like watching spinning chickens. Since many of the things he describes happen in his stories, reading Theft by Finding feels like watching a favorite play from behind the scenes, in the company of a friend who can identify what is absurd and heartbreaking and human about every person on stage
