——媒體推薦——

他的幽默感彷彿多蘿西•帕克和詹姆斯•瑟伯結合在了一起，是一種漫不經心的複雜而又匪夷所思的幽默。

——《娛樂週刊》

大衞•賽德瑞斯或許是這個星球上活着的最有趣的人了。

——《Time Out 紐約》

與馬克·吐温和納撒尼爾·霍桑相比，大衞·賽德瑞斯堪稱我們這個時代最為人喜愛的幽默作家，他的寫作直指當下的可笑之處。《説得美》描寫了一些他旅居法國期間的片段，還收錄了部分曾經刊登在《紐約客》、《時尚先生》以及曾在美國國家公共電台播出的內容。這是一本不容錯過的有趣合集。

——《紐約客》

Still keeps me company like a party guest who's been asked to spend the night...His essays about living in Paris are full of piss and vinegar and achingly funny. Armistead Maupin Audaciously combining memoir, essay, and what has to be fiction, this fourth collection of short pieces offers pleasures normally to be found only in the best novels and the rare standup act that is actually funny.

——THE NEW YORKER

He is, simply, very funny... refusing to find anything an unfit subject for humour.

——SUNDAY TIMES

A sophisticatedly funny take on modern life. Treat yourself to this book.

——IRISH TIMES

——內容介紹——

一個人成熟的標誌就是 有質量地發！牢！騷！

繼脱口秀名嘴奧普拉、拉里·金後，大衞·賽德瑞斯迅速竄紅，被時代週刊譽為“最幽默的人”。這個希臘裔美國人，以調侃的態度把幾近災難的經驗娓娓道來，每一個轉折都讓你在心領神會的瞬間無法抑制地大笑，被比作新一代的伍迪?艾倫。

令人想不到的是，賽德瑞斯在書中自爆從小即被診斷為“語言障礙”，必須接受發音矯正。成年之後，大衞原可以把這種心酸拋之腦後，結果和愛人旅居法國又逼着他從頭學習法語，“被迫開始説話”的噩夢再次降臨。而且這次，他變成了一個説話像嬰兒的成年人，一個令人毛骨悚然的“男人嬰兒”。

書中既有對早年家庭生活（奇葩家人）的回憶，也有和同志愛人臭味相投的暖心故事。無責任全方面吐槽美國人、電腦、狗屎、電影、法國人、法語、餐館菜單、昂貴酒店，每一個槽點都深入你心！請謹記《紐約時報》書評人的教訓：不要在吃飯時閲讀本書，以免把滿口的牛排噴到桌子上~

Anyone that has read NAKED and BARREL FEVER, or heard David Sedaris speaking live or on the radio will tell you that a new collection from him is cause for jubilation. His recent move to Paris from New York inspired these hilarious new pieces, including 'Me Talk Pretty One Day', 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.
