About this listen

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.

An amusing collection of musings and anecdotes. perfect for short car journeys where a chapter in a novel would be interrupted too much but these tales fit perfectly.

nice short read that kept me busy for a day. As it was a collection of short stories, usual stuff applies, some landed well, some less so but it was certainly entertaining and a nice palette cleanser from my previous read

There’s something about Conte’s humor that lingers. It’s not just funny, it’s oddly comforting. Each story feels like a reminder that it’s okay to be ridiculous sometimes. The audiobook has that easy flow where every new chapter pulls you in instantly. Smart writing, great rhythm, and a perfect tone for anyone who enjoys real, unfiltered humor.
