On September 23, 2008, The John Adams Institute hosted an evening with David Sedaris. The humorist and author of Me Talk Pretty One Day and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim brought his entourage to Amsterdam for the Dutch publication of his latest collection of wisdom, When You Are Engulfed in Flames. Sedaris instructed the John Adams audience on how to buy drugs in a North Carolina trailer and how to pretend you attended Princeton University before the birth of Jesus Christ. Sedaris, the best selling author of all time, was soon after accused by The New Republic magazine of making up some of his autobiographical reminiscences.
