Stories of dysfunctional families are entertainment’s bread and butter, from film to TV sitcoms, but essayist and author David Sedaris has managed to etch out a whole new facet of the genre. Sedaris has inspired a fervent legion of fans that lap up stories of his rocky childhood and adolescence in North Carolina. Sedaris’ most recent collection of autobiographical essays, 2008’s When You Are Engulfed In Flames, ranges in degrees of quirky banality, but, true to form, is delivered with characteristic wit and humor. Last year's live album, Live For Your Listening Pleasure, shows how his droll deadpan stories play in front of an audience, but a better bet still is to see for yourself at the Auditorium Theatre, where he'll be performing some of his newest, unpublished yarns.
