Story
The wry and the heartfelt join in David Rakoff's prose to resurrect that most neglected of literary virtues: wit. As he finds himself in all the far-flung hinterlands of our culture, this fish out of water winds up satirizing himself more than his subject matter, to hilarious effect.

Story
Them began as a book about different kinds of extremists, but after Jon had got to know some of them - Islamic fundamentalists, neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen - he found that they had one oddly similar belief: that a tiny, shadowy elite rule the world from a secret room. In Them, Jon sets out, with the help of the extremists, to locate that room. The journey is as creepy as it is comic, and along the way Jon is chased by men in dark glasses, unmasked as a Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp, and more.

another entertaining sedaris book
joined by his sister amy who i love doing bit roles this is a disapointly small 3 chapter book. and the titular third chapter on being a nudist is also the weakest third of the book.
david has an incredibly gifted wit and insight into his human condition that we can all relate too. poignant he finds comedy in mundane tragedies
this is the second book of his I've listened too and undoubtedly I will enjoy everything else he has done.

Not that funny
What would have made Naked better?
The story telling. It was dark humour I guess but I had read previous reviews that said it was laugh out loud stuff.
What was most disappointing about David Sedaris’s story?
They were just a series of stories that didn't string together in any way. I
How did the narrator detract from the book?
He told the story with the same monotone voice. The female narrator was better.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Naked?
The opening scenes where David portrays himself growing up did him no favours.
Any additional comments?
Not my favourite book. Although I do wonder if some of his other work would be better.
