Laugh out loud funny stuff.But if you're new to Sedaris' humor and style, I HIGHLY recommend you hear him tell a story or two before reading him. I've heard him read some of the essays from Naked on the NPR program This American LIfe. I'm afraid that if I had not "heard" him and heard his personality, I would not have "gotten" the stories on the page at all. Now as I read them, I hear his voice and completely get his brand of humor and the voice he gives his mother.Some of the parts have been so funny I've felt compelled to share them with anyone who will sit still long enough to listen. Of course, my voice doesn't do his stories justice.I'd certainly recommend this to people with an open mind and a sense of humor. The stories are bite-sized but yet tend to stick with me. I do believe I'll have to read some more of his work.One kvetch: as a creative nonfiction writer and purist, I'd love to know which stories are true and which stories are "true enough"... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Lovingly wear. *by E***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2024* Heavier use than previous books in the same category, but completely OK to read.It will still be worth donating forward. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Walk on the Wild Side *by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2014* I read this book in two or three sittings. I had over half of the book left to read and planned on reading it slowly but I became hooked and polished the rest off in one night as though it were a delicious dessert. David's story became so exciting that I was mesmerized. I couldn't help liking him. He made me care about him. Picture yourself as a child inflicted with a severe case of OCD--the counting, touching, and checking exhausts you by the end of the day--you retreat to your room to lie on your bed and rock. Picture yourself as a young person with homosexual feelings in a world filled with hate and prejudice towards minorities and particularly gay men. Imagine yourself with parents who fill up their home with baby after baby but have no aptitude for parenthood--a mom who sees her son's frailties as fodder for comedy, a dad who's more in love with golf than his family, a mom whose addiction to cigarettes and alcohol is stronger than anything else. Imagine working in a mental hospital or attending a college with handicapped people and having to care for your roommates' needs. Picture yourself feeling so disenchanted with life that you find yourself shoplifting, taking drugs and distributing them, and going from one menial job to the next.Sedaris decides to take off and leave his family. This is when he travels all over the U.S., hitchhiking, working side by side with migrant workers, and seeing a side of life that is so seedy that suddenly his home life is looking a lot better. As you might imagine, taking so many risks brings him into some unimaginable situations. I was reminded that men too can be harassed by sexual predators.He returns home to take on some unusual jobs, meeting some memorable characters along the way. The final chapter when he decides to spend a few days in a nudist camp is the icing on the cake. I loved it. Nudists are a hoot!If you're like me, you'll find yourself rooting for Sedaris and laughing a lot. Sedaris has a talent for making the bizarre seem outrageously funny. But I didn't find the entire book to be "side-splitting." At 67, I was still naive enough to be shocked by some of the characters and situations. I felt like a social worker looking at some appalling people and then from time to time it was all just too funny. Some readers won't laugh, some will laugh as I did--just some of the time--others will roar with laughter throughout the book. It all depends on your sensitivities. I'm the kind of person who doesn't want everything sugarcoated for me. I don't scream TMI all the time. I can take a dose of the bizarre because my life wasn't always a 50s sitcom. If nothing else, this book could make you feel as I did that my life wasn't so bad. If you laugh, it's a bonus. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/3601327-naked-paperback-june-1-1998](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/3601327-naked-paperback-june-1-1998) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
