An Abacus title

Santaland Diaries collects six of David Sedaris's most profound Christmas stories into one slender volume perfect for use as a last-minute coaster or ice-scraper. This drinking man's companion can be enjoyed by the warmth of a raging fire, the glow of a brilliantly decorated tree, or even in the back seat of a police car. It should be read with your eyes, felt with your heart, and heard only when spoken to. It should, in short, behave much like a book. And oh, what a book it is!

Reviews

  • 'This is a man who could capture your heart and lift your spirits while reading out the ingredients of a rice cake.' Observer
  • 'His best, funniest, most satisfying book.' Time Out
  • 'Sedaris writes with a gentle but unfailing acuity and a keen eye for the ridiculous ... extremely funny.' Sunday Times
  • 'If you haven't come across David Sedaris, get in quickly before over-exposure sucks him dry.' Guardian
