Much of his humor is autobiographical and self-deprecating, concerning his large family life, Greek heritage, various jobs, education, and his life in France with his boyfriend Hugh.
He was born in Binghamton, New York, and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina. He dropped out of Kent State University in 1977, and ten years later graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago. In his teens and twenties, he dabbled in visual and performance art. His lack of success was described in several of his essays. Sedaris has obsessive-compulsive disorder, which he chronicles in his short story "A Plague of Tics."
His first book, Barrel Fever (1994) was a collection of essays and short fiction. Several compilations of his essays have been published in books such as Naked (1996), and Me Talk Pretty One Day (2000). Several of his books, including Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim (2004) have hit #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list for Nonfiction. He is a frequent contributor to the PRI/Chicago Public Radio show This American Life, and Esquire and The New Yorker magazines. In 2001, he was named "Humorist of the Year" by Time magazine and he received the Thurber Prize for American Humor. Although Wayne Wang optioned his book Me Talk Pretty One Day for a movie, Sedaris declined to proceed with the project out of concern for his family and how they might be portrayed in a movie.
He is also a playwright, having authored along with his sister, actor Amy Sedaris, several plays under the name "The Talent Family." These include: Stump the Host (1993), Stitches (1994), One Woman Shoe (1995), The Little Frieda Mysteries (1997), and The Book of Liz. He also co-authored Incident at Kobblers Knob which was presented and produced by David Rockwell at the Lincoln Center Festival.

This is a whole year later I know... but I love these more realistic flip through... I am just getting started with documenting in TN. :) So I appreciate this for sure!

Hi Wendy, I enjoyed watching your flip-thru video; I am new to Traveler's Notebook, so I have a question: do you print out your pictures on your printer and if yes, which program are you using? I like the small square ones. I have a cannon printer, but I don't know how to print my pics in that format and with the white border around it. Thanks
@wendoloniavideos
Hi Gerda! I do print my photos on my home printer. I have an Epson PictureMate 400 printer and I love it. I used to have a Canon Selphy so I'm guessing your printer might be similar to that. To get custom shapes and borders, I use an app called PicFrame. It allows you to create 4x6 collages in different configurations. Once you have the sizes you like, you can save the collage as a new photo and print that out. You might need to experiment a bit so the photos print exactly the way you want them, but I can usually get it the way I want. Hope this helps!

Thanks Wendy, I will follow your advise and try out that app; you was a big help
