May 30, 2013 David Sedaris is currently on an author tour for his new book, Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls. He spoke with Chapter 16 by phone about his upcoming reading and signing at Parnassus Books in Nashville on May 31, 2013; the difference between his lecture and bookstore tours; and the true meaning of Christmas. [A word of warning for those unfamiliar with Sedaris’s work: his language does get a bit salty at times.] A transcript of the podcast, lightly edited for ease of reading online, is available here.
