Best-selling humorist writer David Sedaris talks about his hobby picking up trash on the side of the road, the secret to being in a long relationship, and his new collection of stories, ‘Calypso. Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews Stephen McCauley’s new satirical novel ‘My Ex-Life.’ André Leon Talley felt like a misfit growing up — until he stumbled upon a copy of ‘Vogue.’ Paging through the iconic fashion magazine, he says, was like traveling down a “rabbit hole [into] a world of glamour.” Talley took over as the magazine’s creative director in 1988, and served as editor-at-large from 1998 until 2013.
