A new David Sedaris collection is always a reason to celebrate—and Me Talk Pretty One Day does not disappoint.
With his signature wit, razor-sharp observations, and deadpan delivery, Sedaris recounts his disastrous attempts at learning French, his Southern brother’s obsession with hip-hop slang, and his deep disdain for pretentious restaurant meals (stacked food, anyone?).
From Parisian misadventures to family absurdities, Sedaris proves once again why he’s one of the most beloved humorists of our time. Hailed as “blithely sophisticated and loopy” (Entertainment Weekly), Me Talk Pretty One Day is hilarious, biting, and painfully relatable—perfect for fans of Twain, Thurber, and anyone who’s ever struggled with a foreign language or a bad meal.
Read it. Laugh. Then try explaining the jokes in broken French.
