Episode 15: We Read "Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris"

Mary selected the book "Me Talking Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris for our book club this week. All 3 of us are so excited that we read this book and had one of the best weekends of our life while discussing about the book in our bookclub.

The book is separated into two parts.
The first part consists of essays about Sedaris’s life before his move to Normandy, France, including his upbringing in suburban Raleigh, North Carolina, his time working odd jobs in New York City, and a visit to New York from a childhood friend and her bumpkinish girlfriend.
The second section, "Deux", tells of Sedaris’s move to Normandy with his partner Hugh, often drawing humor from his efforts to live in France without speaking the French language and his frustrated attempts to learn it. Prior to publication, several of the essays were read by the author on the Public Radio International program, This American Life.
