The autobiographical styled chronology through short vignettes of his life made me feel like I was Sedaris’s best friend just popping over for a late afternoon brunch. What makes Sedaris really stand out is his voice: the raw wit and comedic reality seeping out of these short stories. It is personal, candid and utterly human as he talks about everyday occurrences. Reading his work feels as though you have picked up his dairy. Sedaris crafts deeply personal anecdotes that self-analyze and self-depreciate while miraculously maintaining a light, humorous facade. This is just one of many pithy one-liners sprinkled throughout David Sedaris’s collection of short stories, Me Talk Pretty One Day. “I was just struggling with my inner vachette and pondering the depths of my own inhumanity.”
