Lit Talk: Author David Sedaris

Within the past decade, David Sedaris, humorist and author, has created quite a name for himself with his self-deprecating humor and his biting honesty on the page. His appearance on The Daily Show from June 3, 2008 proves that his wit translates seamlessly to in-person interviews. In the very funny video below, Sedaris banters with Jon Stewart about the serendipity behind his latest book’s title When You Are Engulfed in Flames, published last year, the challenges of quitting smoking, and the cuteness of Japan.
