Literary giant David Sedaris returns to the IU Auditorium

This archived story was originally published in 2007. For current showtimes, see www.iuauditorium.com.

The sardonic voice of America's pre-eminent literary humorist comes to life when David Sedaris takes to the IU Auditorium stage Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2007 at 8 p.m.

Sedaris is the best-selling author of Naked and Me Talk Pretty One Day, a collection of the author's dry wit and wry musings. He rose to literary fame with his radio recollections "The Santaland Diaries" and since then his essays have highlighted the pages of Esquire and The New Yorker. Sedaris is a regular contributor to the Peabody Award-winning radio program "This America Life," with his tales of camp misadventures and mistaken identity in his adopted French homeland delighting millions.

The evening with David Sedaris will feature the author regaling the crowd with his latest works as well as providing an opportunity for longtime fans and casual acquaintances to question America's last literary rock star.

The Bloomington performance of David Sedaris is made possible in part thanks to generous donations of the IU Auditorium's season sponsors: area radio station B97, Curry Buick, Cadillac, Pontiac and GMC Truck Dealer, The Herald-Times, Indiana University Documents Services Center, and the Indiana University Division of Residential Programs and Services, along with the show sponsor the Bloomington Bagel Company.
