A move to Paris from New York inspired these hilarious 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'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReaders say:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Fantastically funny book which gets better and better'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Oh how I loved this book. \u003cb\u003eDavid Sedaris and his adventures in learning to speak French made me cry with laughter\u003c\/b\u003e, especially the terrifying teacher at the language classes'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Why have I not discovered him before'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sedaris, David","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46821429477715,"sku":"9780349143941","price":12.84,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/sedaris-david-david-sedaris-me-talk-pretty-one-day-2019-paperback-9780349143941-59954741150035.jpg?v=1731041762","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/me-talk-pretty-one-day-hachette-essentials","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
