Tales of an Unserious Truthteller

In this humorous collection of personal stories and vignettes, Tales of an Unserious Truthteller, David Conte recounts thirty quirky stories from a life lived slightly sideways. From a fan mail letter to author David Sedaris and his snarky reply via postcard, to a nude spa visit in Germany with his wife, to a toilet catastrophe at a friend’s Manhattan apartment, to a summer spent mopping floors at his old high school, to getting his rental car burglarized in Sicily, Conte mines the indignities and small disasters of ordinary life for everything they’re worth.
