Synopsis
Through a series of comic anecdotes, quirky essayist David Sedaris touches on the highlights of his life to date, including his cross-country hitchhiking trip; his discovery of Shakespeare in rural North Carolina; his various odd jobs as a migrant fruit picker, a jade polisher, and a woodwork refinisher; a family Christmas Eve spent with a prostitute fresh out of jail; and his trip to a nudist colony.

With the assistance of his sister, the actress Amy Sedaris, David Sedaris reads selections from his bestselling collection of darkly humorous essays.

Industry Reviews
"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."
Boston Book Review - Kate Tuttle (03/19/1997)

"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."
Goldblatt

    David Sedaris is an American wonder. He writes such thought provoking commentaries and then reads them aloud lending even more meaning using his voice and inflection to make you roar with laughter or pause to reflect on human nature.
