Me Talk Pretty One Day

by David Sedaris

David Sedaris recounts his move from New York to Paris and his hilarious, humiliating attempts to learn French in a language class populated by fellow misfits. With sharp wit and self-deprecating humor, he chronicles cultural misadventures, family eccentricities, and the absurdities of everyday life. A beloved collection of essays that balances laugh-out-loud comedy with surprising tenderness.
