Naked / David Sedaris

Public ISBD Titre : Naked Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : David Sedaris, Auteur Editeur : Little, Brown and Company Année de publication : 1997 Importance : 291 pages ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-316-77949-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Documentaire Documentaire:Biographies, Témoignages, Mémoires Documentaire:Biographies, Témoignages, Mémoires:Mémoires et autobiographies Littérature Littérature:- Autobiographique Littérature:- Roman Résumé : In Naked, David Sedaris's message alternately rendered in Fakespeare, Italian, Spanish, and pidgin Greek is the same: pay attention to me. Whether he's taking to the road with a thieving quadriplegic, sorting out the fancy from the extra-fancy in a bleak fruit-packing factory, or celebrating Christmas in the company of a recently paroled prostitute, this collection of memoirs creates a wickedly incisive portrait of an all-too-familiar world. It takes Sedaris from his humiliating bout with obsessive behavior in A Plague of Tics to the title story, where he is finally forced to face his naked self in the mirrored sunglasses of a lunatic. At this soulful and moving moment, he picks potato chip crumbs 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 him both under suspicion and overdressed.
