Me Talk Pretty One Day
A Little, Brown paperback of David Sedaris's 2000 essay collection, divided roughly between his childhood in North Carolina and his adult attempts to learn French in Paris. Sedaris is observant, mean, and occasionally tender, though tenderness usually arrives disguised as a complaint. The Little, Brown cover is the bright, friendly design that says these essays are funny in a way that book clubs will approve. It became the book that introduced Sedaris to readers who had not heard him on the radio.Ideal reader: the language student who has been humiliated in a classroom and needs company, or the reader who believes the best family stories are the ones told at the subject's expense.
