David Sedaris has a unique voice: part petulance, a little whiny, but completely honest about himself. And always very, very funny! In "Naked" Sedaris presents himself, in this set of memoirs drawing from his childhood onward, as full of insecurities (spending a week at a nudist resort reveals just one of these) and being at the mercy of his sarcastic, wise-cracking chain-smoking mother, siblings who compete with him for her attention, and a father who frequently embarrasses him. But he recognizes the absurdity even the most embarrassing situations, and makes the reader laugh.
