ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY tells a most unconventional life story. It begins with a North Carolina childhood filled with speech-therapy classes ('There was the lisp, of course, but more troubling than that was my voice itself, with its excitable tone and high, girlish pitch') and unwanted guitar lessons taught by a midget. From budding performance artist ('The only crimp in my plan was that I seemed to have no talent whatsoever') to 'clearly unqualified' writing teacher in Chicago, Sedaris's career leads him to New York City and eventually, of all places, France.The move to Paris poses a number of challenges, chief among them his inability to speak the language. Arriving a 'spooky man-child' capable of communicating only through nouns, he undertakes language instruction that leads him ever deeper into cultural confusion. Whether desribing the Easter bunny to puzzled classmates or watching a group of men play soccer with a cow, Sedaris brings a view and a voice like no other.
Autoren-Porträt von David Sedaris
Sedaris, DavidWith sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America's pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.
David Sedaris is the author of Barrel Fever and Holidays on Ice, as well as collections of personal essays, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, When You Are Engulfed in Flames and his most recent book, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, each of which became an immediate bestseller. The audio version of Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls was a Grammy nominee for Best Spoken Word Album. He is the author of the New York Times-bestselling collection of fables entitled Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Wicked Bestiary (with illustrations by Ian Falconer). He was also the editor of Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules: An Anthology of Outstanding Stories. Sedaris's pieces appear regularly in the New Yorker and have twice been included in 'The Best American Essays'. There are a total of ten million copies of his books in print and they have been translated into twenty-nine languages.
