Me Talk Pretty One Day
Published by Little, Brown and Company, 2000
ISBN 10: 0316777722ISBN 13: 9780316777728
Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A new collection from David Sedaris is cause for jubilation. His recent move to Paris has inspired hilarious pieces, including Me Talk Pretty One Day, about his attempts to learn French. 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 and cashiers with 6-inch fingernails. Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, Sedaris has become one of our best-loved authors. Sedaris is an amazing reader whose appearances draw hundreds, and his performancesincluding a jaw-dropping impression of Billie Holiday singing I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weinerare unforgettable. Sedariss essays on living in Paris are some of the funniest hes ever written. At last, someone even meaner than the French! The sort of blithely sophisticated, loopy humour that might have resulted Inner corner of DJ clipped. if Dorothy Parker and James Thurber had had a love child. Entertainment Weekly on Barrel Fever Sidesplitting Not one of the essays in this new collection failed to crack me up; frequently I was helpless. Kirkland box.

ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY - Rare Fine Copy of The First Hardcover Edition/First Printing
Published by Boston, MA: Little, Brown & Company, 2000, 2000
ISBN 10: 0316777722ISBN 13: 9780316777728
Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 272 pages. Published in 2000. The author's fourth collection of essays and short stories. David Sedaris' finest achievement. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out upon publication. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents David Sedaris' "Me Talk Pretty One Day". Published to near-unanimous critical and popular acclaim. His mainstream breakthrough: The book transformed David Sedaris, the author of three brilliant books, from a writer with an ardent cult following into a mega-bestselling writer. "Mines poignant comedy from his peculiar childhood in North Carolina, his bizarre career path, and his move with his lover to France. Though his anarchic inclination to digress is his glory, Sedaris does have a theme in these reminiscences: The inability of humans to communicate. The title is his rendition in English of how he and his fellow students of French mangle the Gallic language" (Tim Appelo). Sedaris writes about his homosexuality and romance with Hugh discreetly but openly. He never makes fun of him, for one thing, and seems hopelessly in love. An absolute "must-have" title for David Sedaris collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws (because they were read) or are in innumerable subsequent printings, even if signed in both instances. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy.

Wherever there's a straight line, you can be sure that Sedaris lurks beneath the text, making it jagged with laughter; and just where the fault lines fall, he sits mischievously perched at the epicenter of it all. David Sedaris's new collection, Me Talk Pretty One Day, tells a most unconventional life story. It begins with a North Carolina childhood filled with speech-therapy classes ("There was the lisp, of course, but more troubling than that was my voice itself, with its excitable tone and high, girlish pitch") and unwanted guitar lessons taught by a midget. From budding performance artist ("The only crimp in my plan was that I seemed to have no talent whatsoever") to "clearly unqualified" writing teacher in Chicago, Sedaris's career leads him to New York (the sky's-the-limit field of furniture moving) and eventually, of all places, France. Sedaris's move to Paris poses a number of challenges, chief among them his inability to speak the language. Arriving a "spooky man-child" capable of communicating only through nouns, he undertakes language instruction that leads him ever deeper into cultural confusion. Whether describing the Easter bunny to puzzled classmates, savoring movies in translation (It is Necessary to save the Soldier Ryan), or watching a group of men play soccer with a cow, Sedaris brings a view and a voice like no other--"Original, acid, and wild," said the Los Angeles Times--to every unforgettable encounter."--Jacket. || Americans -- France -- Paris -- Humor.
