Fri, 9 May 2008 22:25:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author abhaille - This is almost as funny as my friend who is a gay blind mortician. . . Parents can leave us with a lot of baggage. Based on the tales told by David Sedaris, none are more talented at this than his parents. I first heard of Mr. Sedaris when I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Fargust - When I got ready to write a review of David Sedaris's Naked, I thought, "I've got it! I'll title it something like, 'Sedaris Lays Himself Bare in Naked'! Brilliant!" Unfortunately, almost all of the other review titles are a similar type...

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 13:35:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jivepicnic - Upon hearing of my recent penchant for memoirs, a friend of mine gave me her copy of David Sedaris' Naked. I was slightly skeptical because I wasn't sure if we had a similar taste in reading material. (Many of my friends question some of the...

Naked by David Sedaris and narrated by Amy Sedaris: well-written and funny

Sat, 3 Jan 2004 16:51:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author r_cragun - Summary: The book is a collection of short stories, most of which I believe are based on the author's actual experiences. Most of the stories are about his family and growing up, but the final story, Naked, is about his experience going to a nudist...

Sat, 16 Mar 2002 16:56:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author martytdx - David Sedaris is a lot of things, but the list begins and ends with 'bizarre'. This supposed autobiography of his life - composed of essays from different 'chapters' of his existence - alternate between shocking and hilarious at a turn of a page. It's...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jnmadrigal - David Sedaris, recently named America's Best Humorist by TIME Magazine, and winner of the James Thurber Award for humor is anything but the man next door.

Sun, 9 Dec 2001 15:09:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kgh8m - Sedaris's style of writing is relaxed and comfortable. The book is exceptionally easy to read - you could finish it a sitting. His story-telling abilities are exceptional. The prose is simple and funny, in no way over-wrought. A good...

Tue, 28 Aug 2001 20:48:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WilliamJones - Naked is probably the funniest book I've read since, oh, I don't know, maybe Confessions of a Dangerous Mind by legendary game show king Chuck Barris (which, by the way, I highly recommend). It's not all funny—by...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hadassahchana - If not, fine, please drive through. It prevents congestion and all that.

However, if you said yes- fantastic! Good for you. Go directly to Border's and buy your own copy. I won't be persuaded to loan mine to you. This is one book that...

Naked by David Sedaris and narrated by Amy Sedaris: Baring the Writer's Soul

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 18:51:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author generik - David Sedaris' "Naked" is aptly titled, because he is a writer with no qualms about laying himself and his life bare on the page. Very few writers, I think, would be willing to admit to the insecurities, quirks and downright deceptions that grace the...

Sun, 25 Feb 2001 16:19:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prettyinpink - Early in the film “Broadcast News” the character Aaron Altman (played by Albert Brooks) says “Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive?” David Sedaris must live in such a world. As author and...

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 13:03:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Trotterman - Just the other day I thought to myself that someone should write a book that would somehow incorporate obsessive compulsive disorder, prostitution, death, homophobia, xenophobia, racism, migrant farmworking, nudist colonies, the preference of chain...

Naked by David Sedaris and narrated by Amy Sedaris: Truth is Naked

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 14:51:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bansidhe - To be honest, I've always been predominantly a fiction-fan when it comes to reading for pleasure. Non-fiction is something reserved for school assignments, research, or work. When it's time to unwind, I almost always read fiction. I've never been a big...

Naked by David Sedaris and narrated by Amy Sedaris: Thank goodness Sedaris is "Naked"

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 18:36:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bluelucia - First of all, I must explain that I'm a big admirer of David Sedaris. Ever since I heard him reading "SantaLand Diaries" on NPR, I've developed a fanatical appreciation for his skewed vision of the human existence. Not only is Sedaris...

Naked by David Sedaris and narrated by Amy Sedaris: Read this Naked.

Sat, 19 Feb 2000 07:25:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joannavaught - Well, first, I resent this being classified as fiction when it's a memoir.

That aside, Naked contains some of the most brilliant modern autobiographical writing that I have had the fortune of reading.
