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.

I'll send this book to Marsala, winner of the dutch sweepstake.
I hope you'll like the book!

Sounds good! The author's name sounds familiar, but then the other book titles that are mentioned aren't. So I don't know where I know him from. It looks like a fun book anyway :)

Dankjewel!

I've finished reading this book and I really enjoyed it. It reads like a collection of short stories, but with a common theme.

Hopefully this book will find a new reader at the big annual Dutch meetup.

Took it with me from the meeting.

I finished it and it was okay-ish. I know the book is called Naked and I understand that that means that David Sedaris will hold nothing back, but he comes across as someone who thinks he's above everyone else and he seems to look down on everybody. I also thought he had a somewhat strange upbringing. In the AVL-bag.

To the meeting.

took it whit me from the meeting to give to a friend.

Dit boek heb ik vandaag op de boekentafel gevonden. Sommige boeken heb ik meegenomen om te lezen, voor in mijn huisje, voor op één van mijn 2 werklocaties of lag nog tafel toen ik naar huis ging.

In ieder geval is het boek goed terecht gekomen en zal ik er tot aan zijn volgende reis goed op passen.
