Naked, published in 1997, is a collection of essays by American humorist David Sedaris. The book details Sedaris’ life, from his unusual upbringing in the suburbs of Raleigh, North Carolina, to his booze-and-drug-ridden college years, to his Kerouacian wandering as a young adult.

Review of 'Naked' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I don't know what it is about David Sedaris, but I just don't really enjoy his books. I enjoy his writing, but every time someone hands me a book and tells me how amazingly funny it is, I am disappointed. I mean, yeah, there are some funny parts to his books, but overall, they just don't do it for me. I won't stop reading him, because his articles do entertain me, and do make me laugh. Hopefully one day, I'll read one of his books, and my opinion will change. For now, if you love David Sedaris, read this book, you will most likely enjoy it. If, like me, you don't know why you can't find his books entertaining, this probably isn't the book that will change your mind. No offense David.
