David Sedaris

Naked (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A collection of personal essays - surprising, disarming, heartbreakingly funny - from the #1 bestselling writer Time named America's Favorite Humorist.

A riotous collection of memoirs which explores the absurd hilarity of modern life and creates a wickedly incisive portrait of an all-too-familiar world. It takes Sedaris from his humiliating bout with obsessive behaviour in 'A Plague of Tics' to the title story, where he is finally forced to face his naked self in the company of lunatics. At this soulful and moving moment, he brushes cigarette ashes from his pubic hair and wonders what it all means.

This remarkable journey into his own life follows a path of self-effacement and a lifelong search for identity leaving himself both under suspicion and over dressed.

Rezensionen

"In den siebzehn autobiographischen Geschichten, aus denen "Nackt" besteht, erzählt Sedaris von seiner Kindheit in Raleigh, North Carolina, von seiner Betätigung als halbwüchsiger Tramper, Apfelpflücker, Möchtegern-Schauspieler, Nudist und so weiter und stellt uns jede Menge Nebendarsteller vor, die allesamt einem Albtraum von Flannery O´ Connor entsprungen zu sein scheinen - sie sind exzentrisch, kaputt, pervers, faul, neurotisch, lächerlich und schlicht unvergeßlich..."
