Me Talk Pretty One Day

De: David Sedaris

Narrado por: David Sedaris

A new collection from David Sedaris is cause for jubilation. His recent move to Paris has inspired hilarious pieces, including Me Talk Pretty One Day, about his attempts to learn French. His family is another inspiration. You Cant Kill the Rooster is a portrait of his brother who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers and cashiers with 6-inch fingernails. Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, Sedaris has become one of our best-loved authors. Sedaris is an amazing reader whose appearances draw hundreds, and his performancesincluding a jaw-dropping impression of Billie Holiday singing I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weinerare unforgettable. Sedariss essays on living in Paris are some of the funniest hes ever written. At last, someone even meaner than the French! The sort of blithely sophisticated, loopy humour that might have resulted if Dorothy Parker and James Thurber had had a love child.

I'd Listen Again ... and I will

My personal standard for a good movie is, Would I see it again? Applying a like standard to this audible, Would I listen again? Yes. and I will.

Life changing read

Read this book! I felt such a connection to Mr. Sedaris. And I could not stop laughing!

Funny Book

Good book to listen to for easy fun. Dave Sedaris narrates his own book which makes it more interesting and humorous to listen to.

Tedious but then laugh out loud

What made the experience of listening to Me Talk Pretty One Day the most enjoyable?

Sedaris can be, and often is, very funny. His description of his skills in French are some of the funniest, and all the better with him reading it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

You really feel you know the whole family after reading it - and how much they must hate him for it.

What about David Sedaris’s performance did you like?

Dry, witty presentation. Having him read his stories aloud is more enjoyable than reading them. He is a talented narrator.

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

No. Its deadpan style can get tedious.

Great performance

Sedaris gives a Fantastic performance, I highly recommend the audio version. His tones and inflections are superb.
