Me Talk Pretty One Day

Me Talk Pretty One Day is a witty, sharply observed collection of autobiographical essays by David Sedaris, reissued by Hachette Book Group on May 4, 2009. Sedaris turns everyday embarrassments, eccentric family moments, odd jobs, and the trials of learning French as an American expatriate into mordant, laugh-out-loud stories that often reveal surprising tenderness. With crisp timing, an eye for absurd detail, and a self-deprecating voice, the book showcases Sedaris as a master of comic memoir who makes the particularities of his life feel broadly human and deeply entertaining.
