Anyone that has read NAKED and BARREL FEVER, or heard David Sedaris speaking live or on the radio will tell you that a new collection from him is cause for jubilation. His recent move to Paris from New York inspired these hilarious new pieces, including `Me Talk Pretty One Day`, about his attempts to learn French from a sadistic teacher who declares that `every day spent with you is like having a caesarean section`. His family is another inspiration. `You Can`t 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 of food and cashiers with six-inch fingernails.
