Naked

«I just love Sedaris's stories. They're honest, funny and uncompromising, and they read as if they're effortless to write, which is a mark of how brilliantly crafted they are»

Rebecca Front

A riotous collection of memoirs which explores the absurd hilarity of modern life and creates a wickedly incisive portrait of an all-too-familiar world. It takes Sedaris from his humiliating bout with obsessive behaviour in 'A Plague of Tics' to the title story, where he is finally forced to face his naked self in the company of lunatics. At this soulful and moving moment, he brushes cigarette ashes from his pubic hair and wonders what it all means.

Medlemmers vurdering

N
Nostalgia – 15.09.2006

– Enda en fantastisk morsom og underholdende bok fra David Sedaris. Dette er den tredje boken jeg har lest av ham, og han skuffer på ingen måte. De utrolige historiene han forteller er som vanlig basert på virkelige hendelser fra livet hans, både fra barndom og nåtid. Vi blir i denne boken kjent med flere eksentriske familiemedlemmer og andre han tilfeldigvis møter på sin humpete vei gjennom livet. Sedaris har en utrolig observasjons- og fortellerevne, jeg lo både høyt og lenge av opplevelsene og betraktningene hans i denne boken, med tittelhistorien som et hysterisk høydepunkt. Jeg gleder meg stort til å lese mer av ham!!
