If you aren't already familiar with this book or author, let me give you a short background. David Sedaris is a Greek-American humorist, writer, comedian, bestselling author, and radio contributor to NPR's This American Life. Much of Sedaris' humor is autobiographical, self-deprecating, and often concerns his family life, his middle-class upbringing in Raleigh, North Carolina, Greek heritage, various jobs, education, drug use, homosexuality, and his life in France with his boyfriend Hugh. Me Talk Pretty One Day touches upon all of the above-mentioned themes and his comedic timing is so thoughtfully delivered in each short essay you will be laughing out loud while reading. It's an easy, fun, hilarious page-turner that I highly suggest.
