ADULT NONFICTION “The Best of Me” by David Sedaris: For more than 25 years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre.

It is almost impossible to read without laughing. Now, for the first time collected in one volume, the author brings us his funniest and most memorable work.
