Through a series of comic anecdotes, quirky essayist David Sedaris touches on the highlights of his life to date, including his cross-country hitchhiking trip; his discovery of Shakespeare in rural North Carolina; his various odd jobs as a migrant fruit picker, a jade polisher, and a woodwork refinisher; a family Christmas Eve spent with a prostitute fresh out of jail; and his trip to a nudist colony.

One of the most talked-about, most enjoyed bestsellers of the year, NAKED offers a collection of hilarious, touching, genre-bending vignettes "guaranteed to make you blow milk out your nose" ("Details").

Industry reviews
"While Sedaris certainly plays his family's eccentricities for laughs...he's just as clearly celebrating them, too....This is Sedaris' gift, to capture the language of intimate humor, and in so doing to strip family life to its naked components: anger, fear, and love."
Boston Book Review - Kate Tuttle (03/19/1997)

"In this collection of essays, playwright and NPR commentator Sedaris tops his anarchically hilarious miscellany 'Barrel Fever' (1994) by inventing a new genre: autobiography as fun-house mirror. From the first sentence ('I'm thinking of asking the servants to wax my change before placing it in the Chinese tank in keep on my dresser"), 'Naked' pretty well clobbers the reader into dizzy submission. Sedaris applies the same deadpan fastidiousness to his life that Charlie Chaplin applied to his shoe in 'The Gold Rush'--this is splendid stuff."
Goldblatt 


Portions of this page Copyright 1995 - 2009 Muze Inc. All rights reserved.

Sedaris (Barrel Fever, LJ 5/1/94) has fashioned a funny memoir of his wonderfully offbeat life. To call his family "dysfunctional" would be enormous understatement and beside the point; Sedaris's relatives and other companions become vital characters on the page. We see his mother serving drinks to the string of teachers who want to discuss her son's compulsions to lick light switches and make high-pitched noises. We travel with Sedaris and his quadriplegic hitchhiking companion, listen to his foul-mouthed seat mate on a long bus trip, and accompany the author on a hilariously self-conscious visit to a nudist colony. Sedaris's humor is wickedly irreverent but not mean. Traveling with him is well worth it for the laughs and his generous human sensibility.
