I am excited to talk about these with you.
podcast-host
Okay.
podcast-host
I have a a book that I just really, really loved.
podcast-host
I'm finally gonna talk about the land and its people, Katie by David Sederis.
podcast-host
Well, you can tell you can we can talk about it.
podcast-host
Although I think it's gonna probably be just us gushing about it because it's a David Sederis book and he is back to his happiest place in the land and its people.
podcast-host
It's the exact kind of collection that I have been just waiting for him to come out with.
podcast-host
Because this is David Sederis doing what he does best.
podcast-host
He's observing
podcast-host
He's going out in the world and kind of making sense of it in a way that is alternately absurd, but then also like very, very, very true, often within the same paragraph.
podcast-host
This book is 28 essays, mostly brand new, with a few that had previously appeared in The New Yorker.
podcast-host
And we see him in different countries: Guatemala, Kenyan, Vatican City, and of course across the
podcast-host
day to day life where he's really reckoning with time.
podcast-host
He's getting older.
podcast-host
In this book, he rides a horse named Tequila.
podcast-host
He buys a priest's cassock on a whim because that is very on brand.
podcast-host
And he goes on safari and never takes a single photo.
podcast-host
I think what makes this collection land different than like travel writing would is that he's less interested in the places than in what happens to a person when they move through these places.
podcast-host
Because in these essays, he's a reluctant caregiver, he's a loyal friend.
podcast-host
He's a foreigner perpetually trying to explain himself in another language, which is hilarious.
