Acerca de esta escucha

David Sedaris' new collection of essays - including live recordings! - tells a most unconventional life story. It begins with a North Carolina childhood filled with speech-therapy classes ("There was the lisp, of course, but more troubling than that was my voice itself, with its excitable tone and high, girlish pitch") and unwanted guitar lessons taught by a midget. From budding performance artist ("The only crimp in my plan was that I seemed to have no talent whatsoever") to "clearly unqualified" writing teacher in Chicago, Sedaris' career leads him to New York City and eventually, of all places, France. His move to Paris poses a number of challenges, chief among them his inability to speak the language. Arriving a "spooky man-child" capable of communicating only through nouns, he undertakes language instruction that leads him ever deeper into cultural confusion. Whether describing the Easter bunny to puzzled classmates or watching a group of men play soccer with a cow, Sedaris brings a view and a voice like no other to every unforgettable encounter.©2000 by David Sedaris, All Rights Reserved (P)2000 by Time Warner AudioBooks, A Division of Time Warner Trade Publishing Arte y Literatura Autores Entretenimiento y Celebridades Esenciales de recuerdos Celebridad Divertido Ingenioso Para sentirse bien Sincero

Where does Me Talk Pretty One Day rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I was so happy with my purchase of David Sedaris's Me Talk Pretty One Day. It constantly made me laugh aloud or at least smile. I was very satisfied with his performance reading the book and also the length of the selection. Most people will be able to see a little of themselves in David's stories even if they don't really want to admit it! I especially liked the stories featuring his parents and his portrayal of them. I have and will keep on recommending this audiobook to everyone I know with no fear of reprisals in any way, shape or form. Happy Reading! :D

What was one of the most memorable moments of Me Talk Pretty One Day?

To me, it was when David's Dad found something in his suitcase and, after taking a bite of it, still could not figure out what the object was.

Have you listened to any of David Sedaris’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to David Sedaris frequently on This American Life radio podcast but, it was really nice to listen to him for as long as I wanted to instead of little snippets here and there.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Definitely made me laugh out loud many many times.

Any additional comments?

One day I wanna be seated next to David on a park bench sharing a cigarette surrounded by non smokers . . . . .

Great storytelling. Funny stuff. This is my first book that I have read of David sedaris. I think I will try another.

Entertaining

As a retired language prof, I found Sedaris’ take on learning French hilarious! Likewise his experiences in Paris and his observations on living there. However, I regret to say that the last two chapters kind of ruined it for me. I wish he had left out those two chapters from this collection, or at least that I’d known to stop reading before those last chapters. That part had absolutely nothing to do with the overall topic of the rest of the book. I will try to just remember the rest of the book, which was great.

Great, but skip the last two chapters

David Sedaris is a hilarious, gifted storyteller, and he's never been better than he is here. I could listen to him tell stories for hours.

So entertaining!

I always get a chuckle from listening to David read his stories. I get to delve into a world never imagined

Funny Guy

Funny, witty, charming and insightful, vulnerable, catty, shocking and delightful. David makes you feel like his best friend as he regales you with stories about himself, his family and his experience living in Paris. Great for the car or as you grudgingly do housework.

Tres fantastic

He does sarcastic New Yorker better than anyone else. There is a fifteen word minimum.

Fun, Sharp, Fast

Hilarious

David Sedaris cracks me up every time! It’s even more enjoyable to hear him read than to read the printed book.

Always hilarious
