Book Description:
Hip radio comedy fans and theater folks who belong to the cult of Obie-winning playwright/performer David Sedaris must kill to get this book. These would be fans of the scaldingly snide Sedaris's hilariously described personal misadventures like The Santaland Diaries (a monologue about his work as an elf to a department store Santa) seen off-Broadway in 1997. In a series of similarly textured essays, Sedaris takes us along on his catastrophic detours through a nudist colony, a fruit-packing plant, his own childhood, and a dozen more of the world's little purgatories.Members who requested this book also requested:

This is quite possibly the funniest book I have ever read. If you are feeling down and you think nothing can perk you up, try reading Naked, and I promise, you'll be laughing within minutes.

Sedaris is hilarious, but you probably already knew that. His life and family make for a great read.

I got so many crazy looks when I would read this book at work on my lunch break. I laughed out loud and everyone thought I was crazy!
This book is ridiculously funny. Smart and funny is a combination I love in a book.

David Sedaris's stories about his family and growing up. His visit to the nudist camp is hilarious.

Hillarious!! I loved reading this book. It's also quite a conversation piece just sitting around your house. I read numerous parts aloud to groups.
