What We're Reading Now"Sedaris's essays aren't just funny--they are examples of the craft of memoir writing at its best. Readers will smile in recognition at his anecdotes about his crazy family, college experiences, and dead-end jobs. "LizRodriguez - Books-A-Million, Niles, IL The hilarious stories in Naked are memoirs of David Sedaris' wonderfully odd life. Join the author as he hitchhikes across the country with a bizarre cast of quadriplegics and deadbeats. Listen as he first discovers Shakespeare and tries to reintroduce rich cadences of Elizabethan language into rural North Carolina. Scrutinize the fine distinctions between fancy and extra-fancy as he toils in the Northwest as a migrant fruit picker. Celebrate Christmas at the Sedaris residence with friends, family, and a recently paroled prostitute.
