The wit who wooed

A new collection of essays from David Sedaris is something to celebrate. In Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, he tackles such diverse topics as European attitudes towards Obama and, memorably, a visit to a taxidermist in search of a stuffed owl for Valentine's Day. Warm, sincere and very funny. £12.99, littlebrown.co.uk
