drumroll please........NAKED by David Sedaris
Welcome to the hilarious, strange, elegiac, outrageous world of David Sedaris. In Naked, Sedaris turns the mania for memoir on its 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; a family gathers for a wedding in the face of imminent death. Through it all is Sedaris's unmistakable voice, without doubt one of the freshest in American writing.
Thanks all for Octobers discussion of Revolutionary Road
and welcome Teresa!
We will continue the theme of potuck in November for the meal
so just bring your favorite dish. Since many of Sedaris' stories
revolve around childhood, I urge you to bring a favorite from
that time in your life!
BookClubATX will next meet on Sunday NOV. 7th at 6pm in Round Rock
Happy Reading!
Kyle
