  • "Une comédie hilarante autobiographique : de la Caroline du Nord, où il est né, à New York où il grandit, pour finir à Paris, c'est le parcours finalement loufoque d'un jeune homme. C'est aussi un roman sur la difficulté à communiquer, avec ses parents, ses proches, des étrangers, la difficulté à s'intégrer dans une autre culture."
  • "'Nackt' war erst der Anfang - jetzt kommt die Fortsetzung! David Sedaris schreibt hier seinen mit dem Erfolgstitel 'Nackt' begonnenen 'Roman in autobiographischen Geschichten' fort. Noch einmal wirft der Autor einen Blick zurück in die Kindheit. Wir erleben Davids Vater und dessen Jazz-Leidenschaft, gehen mit Klein David zur Logopädin, begleiten den Kunststudenten David zum ersten Mal in den Aktsaal und beobachten, wie aus David 'Mr. Sedaris' wird. David Sedaris, geboren 1956 in Johnson City, New York, aufgewachsen in Raleigh, North Carolina, lebt abwechselnd in England und den USA. Er schreibt u. a. für 'The New York Times', 'The New Yorker' und 'Esquire'. Mit seinen Büchern 'Naked', 'Fuselfieber', 'Ich ein Tag sprechen hübsch' und 'Schöner wird's nicht' wurde er zum Bestsellerautor. Zuletzt erschien im Blessing Verlag 'Das Leben ist kein Streichelzoo. Fiese Fabeln' (2011)."
  • "A new collection from David Sedaris is cause for jubilation. His recent move to Paris has inspired hilarious pieces, including Me Talk Pretty One Day, about his attempts to learn French. His family is another inspiration. You Cant Kill the Rooster is a portrait of his brother who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers and cashiers with 6-inch fingernails. Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, Sedaris has become one of our best-loved authors. Sedaris is an amazing reader whose appearances draw hundreds, and his performancesincluding a jaw-dropping impression of Billie Holiday singing I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weinerare unforgettable. Sedariss essays on living in Paris are some of the funniest hes ever written. At last, someone even meaner than the French! The sort of blithely sophisticated, loopy humour that might have resulted if Dorothy Parker and James Thurber had had a love child. Entertainment Weekly on Barrel Fever Sidesplitting Not one of the essays in this new collection failed to crack me up; frequently I was helpless. The New York Times Book Review on Naked."@en

  • "Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, David Sedaris has become one of the best-loved humorists of our time, writing with perfect pitch about the ludicrousness of our age. Featuring some pieces about his sojourn in Paris that have been published and many that have been featured in The New Yorker, Esquire, and on NPR, this is a hilarious collection that shouldn't be missed."@en
  • "Sedaris tells a most unconventional life story, beginning with a North Carolina childhood filled with speech-therapy classes and unwanted guitar lessons. From a budding performance artist to "clearly unqualified" writing teacher in Chicago, Sedaris's career leads him to New York and eventually, of all places, France, where of course he cannot speak the language."
