    Reading

    David Sedaris is like watching an aerialist. His famed humor pieces take escalating risks while never failing to bring off smooth, astonishing landings. Sedaris reads the final piece from his new collection,

    Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls (Little, Brown and Company), and discusses the careful process by which he constructs his apparently effortless stories.
