One of the most anticipated books of 2017: New York Times Book Review, New York's Vulture, Bustle, and BookRiot.

From best-selling author David Sedaris, for the first time in print: selections from the diaries that are the source of his remarkable autobiographical essays.

For nearly four decades, David Sedaris has faithfully kept a diary in which he records his thoughts and observations on the odd and funny events he witnesses. Anyone who has attended a live Sedaris event knows that his diary readings are often among the most joyful parts of the evening. But never before have they been available in print. Now, in Theft by Finding, Sedaris brings us his favorite entries. From deeply poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, these selections reveal with new intimacy a man longtime fans only think they know. Tender, hilarious, illuminating, and endlessly captivating, Theft by Finding offers a rare look into the mind of one of our generation's greatest comic geniuses.

Reseñas editoriales

Editors Select, May 2017

David Sedaris cut his teeth at NPR, and his popularity is due in large part to his excellent voice. I had forgotten how good his delivery is before listening to this one. Having read two of his books previously, I only knew that I could expect high quality and versatile writing. And boy does he deliver. In reciting the best of 25 years of his life, he draws together a keenly perceptive image of America in all its contradictory and ludicrous forms. He can tell you a story in one line and craft a sense of character in even less. His characterizations are, for that matter, nothing short of brilliant - bolstered by an amazing ability to impersonate accents and dialectical quirks. Just the fact that he remembers each person so precisely is awe-inspiring and lends real weight to the raw yet technically refined anecdotes from this expert memoirist. —Michael, Audible Editor

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Only David Sedaris should narrate books by David Sedaris. He's simply wonderful.... With his inimitable sweetly sarcastic delivery, he precisely records encounters with anti-gay thugs and gay perverts and recounts examples of the ignorant sexist, racist, and vicious comments he experiences. Everyone who listens to these diary entries, beginning in 1977 and going through 2002, will be satisfied, but waiting eagerly for more, narrated by Sedaris, of course." ( AudioFile)

I love David Sedaris so much that criticizing him is tantamount to sacrilege for me but I was not that entertained by this book. I did have a chuckle or two in the latter part of the book but for me it didn't get remotely interesting until about chapter 25. Hearing so many mundane diary entries about things like the price of chicken per pound on sale that day were mind-numbing. I'm still a die-hard Sedaris fan and will undoubtedly by every book he writes for the rest of his life but this one was just a bit off the mark in my opinion.

Don't hate me but...

It sort of felt like going behind the scenes of one of my favorite television shows. The only thing I don't like is that after having read all of his books and now his journal, I feel like he's a friend I could call to hang out with this weekend, but that's just not the case.

If you love David, you'll love this.

I've been a David Sedaris fan since Naked was first published. To get to know him a bit more through his journey entries is a fun ride. Totally enjoyed it.

Quite a fun journey

Perfect for 2020

Sedaris’ diary is so goddamned hilarious that I eventually resigned myself to never being able to read it in public for fear of interrupting shared spaces with my constant and explosive laughter.

My favorite memoir from our greatest human.

David Sedaris Is the Funniest

So great having David Sedaris ready this himself! He just has a way of making what would be mundane observations in anyone else's hand, wry and entertaining.

interesting format, easy to do a bit at a time

Fabulous. Wonderful. I found myself listening less and less each day simply to make it last longer. I miss him already.

Always wonderful.
