Humorist David Rakoff will be here next Thursday to talk good food and great writing with Ruth Reichl and guests. Last winter he went on a publicity tour to promote his book, Don’t Get Too Comfortable: The Indignities of Coach Class, The Torments of Low Thread Count, The Never-Ending Quest for Artisanal Olive Oil, and Other First World Problems, and this mockumentary with Dave Hill is the result. Enjoy it, but please don’t compare him with David Sedaris.
