Prefer his earlier work. First heard his Santaland on NPR. It was great.

He seems to like Minneapolis; he appears here every year or so. I too have read a lot of his earlier work. Always enjoyed his satire.

His review of that children's Christmas Pageant is what hooked me. Brutal.

He's rarely heard on BBC radio, occasionally they will do a short series of him reading his essays, and I find his style of delivery and his content very funny indeed. I have never looked, are his essays in print?

I've seen him live, too, and he's fantastic. He's got humor for everyone, including those with dark tastes.

His books “Naked” and “Me talk pretty one Day” are a good introduction into his style of humor.
I also enjoyed David Rakoff’s stories as much if not more.
