Tag: Tiffany Sedaris In May, Tiffany Sedaris, youngest sister of comedian David Sedaris, killed herself. Tiffany Sedaris, by the by, was sent to the Elan School as a teen. I can see my family reacting this way to my eventual (and inevitable) suicide. Judging by his writings, was she an addict or mentally ill or just difficult?His family’s an absolute trainwreck. I’ve listened to almost all his work in audiobook form. Daytop was based on the Synanon program/cult. His family never comes off looking all that good.Have you read any of his other work, Merneith? David Sedaris writes about renting a beach house on Emerald Isle, off the coast of North Carolina, with his family, in the weeks after his sister’s death. The school acquired some notoriety during the 1990s and early 2000s when former classmates of On March 23, 2011, Élan School announced it would be closing on April 1, 2011.Élan School was founded in 1970 by psychiatrist Gerald Davidson, investor David Goldberg, and Joseph Ricci, a college drop-out. It’s interesting he doesn’t try to whitewash her or his family.I’m not that familiar with her: Gretchen and Amy are the two sisters he writes most about. Come to think of it, I’ve heard so much that even if I did read it in dead tree form, I’d hear his voice in my head. Élan School was a private, coeducational, and controversial residential behavior modification program, therapeutic boarding school and cult that was active in child abuse (beginning with 8th grade and extending beyond high school completion) in Poland, Androscoggin County, Maine.It was a full member of the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP). But a sibling?Moving piece. I don’t think he’s funny, either.Sedaris mentions the yearbook of the sister as containing scribbled messages about marijuana use, but doesn’t really go into it any further.Agreed: a moving piece (thanks, BurnMeUp, for the link).That was incredibly sad. I get that David Sedaris is a writer and probably needed to write this all out, but publishing it, knowing that Tiffany was so unhappy about being part of his public family, knowing that he was guaranteed the last word here, seems like a rotten thing to do.
“Shakespeare? SEDARIS: My sister Tiffany was child number five, so she was the youngest girl and the second to the youngest child. Or in his other piece that mentions Tiffany as an adult; IIRC there are only two because being sent to Elsn permanently damaged her relationship with the rest of her family. He recently wrote a piece in the New Yorker about it.A person expects his parents to die. The Elan program was created by a recovered heroin addict named Joe Ricci based on a program he went to called Daytop.
This piece in particular has really stuck with me.I’ve never though his writing was funny.

It’s What kind of parents could possibly say or think something like that? More like Crapspeare. A midget guitar teacher, a Macy's elf, and the truth about David Sedaris. I can identify too closely with some of the thoughts he expressed, like how his family was the only group he wanted to belong to. But the more I mull it over, the less qualified I feel to judge.
