Book Review, Me Talk Pretty One Day

David Sedaris has mastered style. When I finished reading Me Talk Pretty One Day I found myself wanting a novel from this author. I enjoy this compilation of short stories and essays. He brings to life his characters. His voice resounds off the page; his sentences are metered and straight forward. He has also understood flow, a very elusive device that allows us, the reader, to enjoy and be captivated by his work. He does not bog us down with unnecessary words.

The stories about his father, his time in Paris are delightful. We truly feel his anguish to adjust to the culture. His love for Hugh, for relocating and his dysfunctional affection for his family are all transparent. This is a truly American book. It also shows how Sedaris has matured as a writer.

Naked still remains my favorite. I recommend this book whole-heartedly; you can buy Me Talk Pretty One Day at Amazon.

Check out hot Parisian men.
