A recent transplant to Paris, humorist David Sedaris, bestselling author of “Naked”, presents a collection of his strongest work yet, including the title story about his hilarious attempt to learn French.

David Sedaris' move to Paris from New York inspired these hilarious pieces, including the title essay, about his attempts to learn French from a sadistic teacher who declares that every day spent with you is like having a caesarean section. His family is another inspiration. You Can't Kill the Rooster is a portrait of his brother, who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers of food and cashiers with six-inch fingernails.

Admittedly I don't really know who David Sedaris is other than Amy's brother. Not quite sure where this book came from, either. So I remain sort of mystified as to why I picked it up & why I read the whole thing. It's good, in that it's not bad. In fact, I exhaled sharply through my nose on several occasions. It may not contain the answers to life's mysteries but there are worse ways to spend an evening, I'm sure, than reading some loosely strung-together anecdotes.
