Description
Welcome to the hilarious, strange, elegiac, outrageous world of David Sedaris!
In Naked, Sedaris turns the mania for memoir on its ear, mining the exceedingly rich terrain of his life, his family, and his unique worldview-a sensibility at once take-no-prisoners sharp and deeply charitable.
A tart-tongued mother does dead-on imitations of her young son's nervous tics to the great amusement of his teachers; a stint of Kerouackian wandering is undertaken (of course!) with a quadriplegic companion; a family gathers for a wedding in the face of imminent death.
Through it all is Sedaris's unmistakably hilarious voice—without doubt one of the freshest in American writing.
“If you’re looking for some comic relief, look no further than David Sedaris.” ―NPR

Interesting for the first ten pages
1By xyz 123456Don't bother....unless you like painfully slow reads about nothing in particular.Love it!!
5By Od13I completely loved this book and laughed the whole time!!Horrible
1By GagibeanerI second everything that the previous poster said. I chucked it in the trash after finishing. Complete waste of time.Poinless
1By Marychinese34Reading this narcissistic book was torture. Interesting up until his ticks..that's hilarious. From then on it's all downhill. The book had no point at all other than this gay man's awkwardness and his inability to interact. Serious issues are avoided thuought the book. Complete waste of time.David Sedaris Naked
5By Logan HollowayHard to put down, a completely addictive read.Inside look
5By YoginilaughsYou really get to peek into the lives of a family who is twisted enough to be entertaining but real enough to be reminiscent of your own family...Lol!
5By Cmarie2010Great stories! So personal and so well written. And always very funny. Loved it.Less humorous, but still Sedaris excellent
5By KaishauriI got the book thinking it would be laugh out loud funny like Me Talk Pretty One Day. This book still made me laugh, but it is so incredibly personal and revealing that I found myself thinking about passages days after I read them. Highly recommended!Another humorous read by Sedaris
5By Hoss28Great stories and one of my favorite collections.
