Me Talk Pretty One Day

A new collection from David Sedaris is cause for jubilation. His recent move to Paris has inspired hilarious pieces, including Me Talk Pretty One Day, about his attempts to learn French. His family is another inspiration. You Cant Kill the Rooster is a portrait of his brother who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers and cashiers with 6-inch fingernails. Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, Sedaris has become one of our best-loved authors.  more

Hilarious until you realize the joke's on you

I read this book a month ago, but I've been sitting on the review for some time because I'm not certain exactly what to say about it. The writing itself is brilliantly done - Sedaris has a unique style of humor that is refreshingly...

Funny stuff

A highly enjoyable read. The early chapters were particularly hysterical, causing me to laugh out loud numerous times as Sedaris described growing up as an effeminate boy with a frustrating lisp. I'm not a big memoir reader, particularly...
