-Descripcion Original:
One of the most anticipated books of 2017: Boston Globe, New York Times Book Review, New Yorks Vulture, The Week, Bustle, BookRiotAn NPR Best Book of 2017An AV Club Favorite Book of 2017A Barnes & Noble Best Book of 2017A Goodreads Choice Awards nomineeDavid Sedaris tells all in a book that is, literally, a lifetime in the making.For forty years, David Sedaris has kept a diary in which he records everything that captures his attention-overheard comments, salacious gossip, soap opera plot twists, secrets confided by total strangers. These observations are the source code for his finest work, and through them he has honed his cunning, surprising sentences.Now, Sedaris shares his private writings with the world. Theft by Finding, the first of two volumes, is the story of how a drug-abusing dropout with a weakness for the International House of Pancakes and a chronic inability to hold down a real job became one of the funniest people on the planet.Written with a sharp eye and ear for the bizarre, the beautiful, and the uncomfortable, and with a generosity of spirit that even a misanthropic sense of humor cant fully disguise, Theft By Finding proves that Sedaris is one of our great modern observers. Its a potent reminder that when youre as perceptive and curious as Sedaris, theres no such thing as a boring day. Review PRAISE FOR THEFT BY FINDING: Starve and Struggle. Feast. Bloat. These are the three stages that all artists - with some variation - go through in their careers...So its encouraging to read 25 years of David Sedariss diaries, and not just because he manages to defeat Bloat. Its helpful to see that a voice as original, hilarious and sometimes as infuriating as his was put through the same Struggle and Starve meat grinder that most of us go through...No one escapes Bloat, but many survive it. Maybe not with the grace, whining, hilarity and eye-rolling that Sedaris does. But through all 25 years of Theft by Finding - of soap opera addictions and spider feeding, family kookiness and language lessons - Sedariss developing voice is the lifeline that pulls him through the murk. Patton Oswalt, New York Times Book ReviewIf its hard to be funny, its an astounding feat to stay funny--wildly, wickedly, ingeniously so--for more than twenty years. Yet David Sedaris has somehow pulled it off, in exhilarating essays that zero in on the absurd and the poignant with eviscerating wit and radiant humanity....Fans will no doubt delight in the entries that will turn into Sedariss most beloved essays...Were treated to a portrait of the artist as a young man, albeit one with an old and singular soul. Fiona Maazel, O, The Oprah MagazineA standout... Whether hes in an IHOP in Raleigh or his apartment in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, his eye for the absurd and the vulgar is infallible and his deadpan prose style inimitable...Here, the relatively artless diary entries, short and long, sequenced and non sequitur, add up to something weve never gotten before--a big, juicy narrative arc. It comprises 25 years of an essentially heartwarming success story, any potential ickiness kept in check by Sedariss judicious minimalism. Marion Winik, NewsdayMesmerizing... Delightful... Sedaris describes the world around him... the vast and splendid array of human life that can be observed at IHOP, or the vagaries of fruit picking... Reading Theft by Finding is 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. Annalisa Quinn, NPRSedaris, a master of incisive and comic cultural criticism, is about to get more personal than ever...Theft by Finding reveals intimate details of this literary luminarys life and mind--all told with his singular sense of humor. Harpers BazaarSedaris fans will thrill to this opportunity to poke around in the writers personal diaries, which he has fa
