Author David Sedaris

Written by Scott LaMar, Director of Radio Smart Talk

Radio Smart Talk for Friday, April 22:

Writer and commentator David Sedaris is well-known to public radio fans for his essays and short stories featured on This American Life and a number of NPR programs. He's written several collections of essays and short stories, including Barrel Fever, Naked, Holidays on Ice, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Demin, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, and his latest collection of stories, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk.

His humor is often autobiographical and self-deprecating. It's always honest, typically sweet, and occasionally subversive. We'll talk with Sedaris about the craft of storytelling, and about his latest book.

I just caught the very end of the David Sedaris interview. He referred to an author he'd apparently mentioned earlier, who wrote a story about the Vikings.

Who is the author, and what is the book's title?

Hi Carol. Thanks for your question. The author is Wells Tower, and the book is called Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned. You can read more about Wells, and his writing, at: http://us.macmillan.com/author/wellstower
