About this listen

Welcome to the hilarious, strange, elegiac, outrageous world of David Sedaris. In Naked, Sedaris turns the current mania for the memoir on its proverbial ear, mining the exceedingly rich terrain of his life, his family, and his unique worldview, a sensibility at once take-no-prisoners sharp and deeply charitable. A tart-tongued mother does dead-on imitations of her young son's nervous tics, to the great amusement of his teachers; a stint of Kerouackian wandering is undertaken (of course!) with a quadriplegic companion. Through it all is Sedaris's unmistakable voice, without a doubt one of the freshest in American writing.©1997 David Sedaris (P)1998, 2001 Time Warner AudioBooks Entertainment & Celebrities Celebrity Funny Witty Feel-Good

Critic reviews

"Sidesplitting." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Genuinely funny, at times hilarious....Makes for a smashing use of audio as a unique entertainment medium....Highly likable and spirited throughout...makes a case for audio as its own special form." (Publishers Weekly)
"Sedaris is a gifted satirist with an uncanny knack for re-creating dialogue and revealing fantasies....Brutally honest and brilliantly eloquent, Sedaris is positively tonic." (Booklist)

I love finding someone w/ a twisted sense of humor

David Sedaris -- the one and only. I'm a 30-year-old woman in Nebraska and can't tell you how difficult it is to find someone with the same, twisted sense of humor that I have yielded.

David Sedaris outrageously funny and emotionally intelligent

What can I say? He is the absolute best and Michael three favourite! Very cute sense of observation and willing to admit all kinds of stuff that most of us would not! He is a complete gift

LOL

I have just started listening to audio books. My first three selections were by David Sedaris. I drive 3 hours between Emerald Isle and Durham twice a week. I find myself laughing out loud during the drive and arriving at my destination seemingly in the blink of an eye. It feels so good to laugh out loud!

Honest & Sincere

This is a collection of brutally honest autobiographical stories of David Sedaris' upbrining and life. We sometimes found ourselves wincing at his childhood accounts and then laughing the next moment at the author's way of finding the wry humor in otherwise disturbing events. My husband and I would look at each other and say, "Jeez, we thought OUR families were crazy. They were Ozzy and Harriet compared to this guy's family!" As always, his tales are sincere and humorous and perfectly delivered.
