The Best of Me by David Sedaris is a 2020 essay collection and short fiction anthology that gathers selected work from across his career, with the author choosing the pieces himself. The book is not a new narrative but a retrospective designed to show the arc of Sedaris’s writing over more than 25 years. It includes material originally published in earlier collections, along with a handful of essays that had appeared in The New Yorker but had not previously been included in a Sedaris book. As a result, the volume works both as an introduction for new readers and as a career-spanning sampler for longtime fans. Its central purpose is to display Sedaris’s range: observational comedy, personal essay, family writing, travel episodes, and reflective pieces about aging and relationships. The collection is especially notable for pairing sharp humor with increasing warmth and self-awareness, making it a distinctive example of contemporary literary nonfiction.
