American humorist David Sedaris is one of the world’s foremost (and funniest) writers on the joys, frustrations, and essential truths of the human experience. He’s the author of such bestsellers as “Calypso,” “Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls,” “Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk,” “When You Are Engulfed in Flames,” “Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim,” “Me Talk Pretty one Day,” and “Naked;” and he contributes regularly to the New Yorker, the BBC and CBS Sunday Morning. David wrote an essay – about his deep dislike for people who use pushiness to get what they want – as part of Literally, our slowly expanding library of written commissions by some of the best writers in the world.
