“Amid
the book-related questions, I’ve been asked to call someone’s mother for them,
when to reach out to an estranged friend, if I can hook them up with an
apartment in Manhattan, if I can get them in touch with David Sedaris, my
darkest secret, tips for overcoming depression, when malaria pills expire, how
about just David Sedaris’s email then, if they paid too much for this dress, if
I want to get married, if I think they should get married.”—Essayist Sloane
