![]() He manages to strike a good balance of making fun without coming across as too mean-spirited or bitter. I really enjoy his wry, deprecating perspective on himself and the world, which this book offered in spades. It’s been a number of years since I read my last Sedaris book, and I must say that his writing has been sorely missed. Underpinning many of these essays is a motif of communication and/or self-expression. Though these essays offer a bit of an eclectic mix of topics, altogether they serve as an unconventional telling of Sedaris’s life story up to that point, covering some of his experiences in school, the eccentricities of his family members, numerous relocations, and career changes. ![]() Me Talk Pretty One Day is a 2000 collection of humorous, anecdotal essays by David Sedaris, and is the author’s fourth book. ![]()

In some ways, this reads like a warm up to a fantasy series that will explore in greater depth this world and the characters in it and if so, it definitely whet my appetite for more. There is a central lone wolf figure that recurs that reminded me a bit of The Witcher but they were well supported by a cast of other intriguing characters.
