Welcome to the wonderful world of America's foremost humorist Davi Sedaris, where learning French, like life, is littered with idiosyncratic delights. We meet his family: the scientific enigma of his father, a man who produced six children who share none of his interests; his rap-loving brother 'the Rooster', who cannot speak without swearing; and his sister Amy, who delights in ringing her father up, impersonating women who want an affair with him. Me Talk Pretty One Day also includes Sedaris's many Parisian escapades, as well as the biggest of linguistic and philosophical conundrums: 'What's the trick to remembering that a sandwich is masculine?'
