Book Reviews of Naked
Book Review: "Naked" exposes Equal Opportunity Offender
Summary: 5 Stars
David Sedaris' acidic re-telling of personal life experiences is a singular masterpiece of razor-sharp wit and American satire. Chapter by chapter Sedaris leads us through the embarassing, enlightening, and distrubing episodes of his life without any regard to shame, euphemism, or delicacy. What emerges from these softly-woven narratives is an endearing and hilarious portrait of a smart-ass coming of age. Whether he's describing the handicapped, nudists, gays, or religious extremists, Sedaris exposes in paragraphs the irony and hypocrisy that others would need volumes to describe. At the same time, his incidental frankness and honesty solicit the our sympathy and laughter. Finally, satire has arrived which is neither self-indulgent or pompous
