Barrel Fever: Stories and EssaysSedaris, David
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"In this collection of essays, playwright and NPR commentator Sedaris tops his anarchically hilarious miscellany 'Barrel Fever' (1994) by inventing a new genre: autobiography as fun-house mirror. From the first sentence ('I'm thinking of asking the servants to wax my change before placing it in the Chinese tank in keep on my dresser"), 'Naked' pretty well clobbers the reader into dizzy submission. Sedaris applies the same deadpan fastidiousness to his life that Charlie Chaplin applied to his shoe in 'The Gold Rush'--this is splendid stuff."
Kirkus, 01/15/97
Review:"While Sedaris certainly plays his family's eccentricities for laughs...he's just as clearly celebrating them, too....This is Sedaris' gift, to capture the language of intimate humor, and in so doing to strip family life to its naked components: anger, fear, and love."
Kate Tuttle, Boston Book Review, March 1997
