Interview with David Sedaris

I did not conduct the interview.
I read it.

Mr. Sedaris has no cellphone; his land line does not have call waiting. (“Nobody ever calls me,” he said at the end of the afternoon. “The phone hasn’t rung once,” which was true.) He neither has nor wants an e-mail address.

He stays away from the Internet — “You’ll lose a whole year on the Internet, just in terms of looking things up,” he warned — and was unnerved when he once idly typed in the name of the host of NPR’s “Fresh Air,” Terry Gross, and a bunch of critical commentary came up. “I don’t even want to know what anybody thinks about Terry Gross,” he said.

In Paris, he said, he has just two friends — one is a journalist, the other a tour guide from Alabama — but he doesn’t mind: “Hugh has a lot of friends, and I can sometimes use his friends.”
