About this listen
Jigs and Tales of Bawdry, Mark Will’s first collection of short fiction, is an irreverent commentary on contemporary American life, from the Reagan era to the post-9/11 present. Alternating third- and first-person narratives offer skewed perspectives on work, divorce, religion, politics, and education, with a salutary admixture of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. Nostalgic, sarcastic, crude, and occasionally transgressive, the 13 stories included herein will provoke a variety of reactions.

The day I realized my brother would be a rock star...was the same day I accidentally pooped my pants. They’re not related, just memorable. Should my famous brother be writing his own story? Certainly. But...I'm the one they got to tell the story. Where is he?

If you would have told a young John Stamos flipping burgers at his dad’s fast-food joint that one day he’d be a household name and that, at the height of his success, he’d be living alone, divorced, with no kids, high on a cocktail of forgetting, he might’ve asked, “You want fries with that?”

I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

For more than 25 years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to listen without laughing.

Lone Stars follows the arc of four generations of a Texan family in a changing America. Julian Warner, a father at last, wrestles with a question his husband posed: what will you tell our son about the people you came from, now that they're gone? Finding the answers takes Julian back in time to Eisenhower's immigration border raids, an epistolary love affair during the Vietnam War, crumbling marriages, queer migrations to Cambridge and New York, up to the disorienting polarization of Obama's second term.
