Resumen del Editor

Welcome to the hilarious, strange, elegiac, outrageous world of David Sedaris. In Naked, Sedaris turns the current mania for the memoir on its proverbial 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. Through it all is Sedaris's unmistakable voice, without a doubt one of the freshest in American writing.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Sidesplitting." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Genuinely funny, at times hilarious....Makes for a smashing use of audio as a unique entertainment medium....Highly likable and spirited throughout...makes a case for audio as its own special form." (Publishers Weekly)
"Sedaris is a gifted satirist with an uncanny knack for re-creating dialogue and revealing fantasies....Brutally honest and brilliantly eloquent, Sedaris is positively tonic." (Booklist)

Hilarious as usual

once again mr Sedaris made me laugh til I died then died laughing again! cool.

I love finding someone w/ a twisted sense of humor

David Sedaris -- the one and only. I'm a 30-year-old woman in Nebraska and can't tell you how difficult it is to find someone with the same, twisted sense of humor that I have yielded.

I love David Sedaris

What does David Sedaris and Amy Sedaris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Amy's impersonation of her parents, Ya-Ya was outstanding!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!!!!!

loved.

love love LOVE. this story was so fun to listen too, I highly recommend listening to it, rather than reading it yourself.

David Sedaris outrageously funny and emotionally intelligent

What can I say? He is the absolute best and Michael three favourite! Very cute sense of observation and willing to admit all kinds of stuff that most of us would not! He is a complete gift

LOL

I have just started listening to audio books. My first three selections were by David Sedaris. I drive 3 hours between Emerald Isle and Durham twice a week. I find myself laughing out loud during the drive and arriving at my destination seemingly in the blink of an eye. It feels so good to laugh out loud!

love it!

I keep going back and listening to parts of this book, and never fail to laugh! I enjoy his narration and his storytelling just can't be beat. Sometimes I just couldn't believe he would say/do such a thing, but it is a fun kind of astonishment. While he never seems to run out of material from his family and his relationship, I like that he's going out creating new adventures to share with his loyal readers.

Crazy ass family

His life and his family life were described perfectly and it was scary how similar their lives were to mine. I loved his brutal descriptions.
