David Sedaris prepares for Australian tour sharing stories from his 30-year writing journey

David Sedaris will return to Australia next month for a tour, where he is known for spending up to 10-and-a-half hours signing books for fans. He plans to share stories, including one about his partner Hugh Hamrick's recent hip replacement. Sedaris reflects on his journey from living in a trailer in Oregon to becoming a bestselling author. He began writing at 20 and gained recognition after reading his work in Chicago, eventually reaching a wide audience through radio. His latest collection, "Happy-Go-Lucky," features personal essays that blend humor and observation. Sedaris emphasizes that he prefers to read newer material rather than older works like "Santaland Diaries" during his performances.
