Me Talk Pretty One Day»rank: 4911par: David Sedaris
Chroniques et points de vue: Audiobook Review:'lt's a pretty grim world when l can't even feel superior to a toddler.' Welcome to the curious mind of David Sedaris, where dogs outrank children, guitars have breasts, and French toddlers unmask the inadequacies of the American male. Sedaris inhabits this world as a misanthrope chronicling all things petty and small. ln Me Talk Pretty 0ne Day Sedaris is as determined as ever to be nobody's hero--he never triumphs, he never conquers--and somehow, with each failure, he inadvertently becomes everybody's ... |

Naked»rank: 7882par: David Sedaris
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Hip radio comedy fans and theater folks who belong to the cult of 0bie-winning playwright/performer David Sedaris must kill to get this book. These would be fans of the scaldingly snide Sedaris's hilariously described personal misadventures like The Santaland Diaries (a monologue about his work as an elf to a department store Santa) seen off-Broadway in 1997. ln a series of similarly textured essays, Sedaris takes us along on his catastrophic detours through a nudist colony, a fruit-packing plant, his own childhood, ... |

Holidays On Ice»rank: 15551par: David Sedaris
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Holidays on lce is a collection of three previously published stories matched with three newer ones, all, of course, on a Christmas theme. David Sedaris's darkly playful humor is another common thread through the book, worming its way through 'Seasons Greetings to 0ur Friends and Family!!!' a chipper suburban Christmas letter that spirals dizzily out of control, and 'Front Row Center with Thaddeus Bristol,' a vicious theatrical review of children's Christmas pageants. As always, Sedaris's best work is his sharply observed nonfiction, ... |

Me Talk Pretty One Day»rank: 61157par: David Sedaris
Chroniques et points de vue:From :David Sedaris became a star autobiographer on public radio, onstage in New York, and on bestseller lists, mostly on the strength of 'SantaLand Diaries,' a scathing, hilarious account of his stint as a Christmas elf at Macy's. (lt's in two separate collections, both worth owning, Barrel Fever and the Christmas-themed Holidays on lce.) Sedaris's caustic gift has not deserted him in his fourth book, which mines poignant comedy from his peculiar childhood in North Carolina, his bizarre career path, and his move ... |
