Book Club: Me Talk Pretty One Day

In the Memoir Mentors Book Club, we explore memoirs through a writer’s lens. We go beyond the surface of the stories. We dissect memoirs, identifying elements we can integrate into our own writing and those we might want to steer clear of. Our discussions center around the strengths and weaknesses of the writing, providing valuable insights for enriching our writer toolboxes.

Come on by for insightful conversations, even if you haven’t read the featured book.

This time, we'll be discussing the award winning: Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris.

Me Talk Pretty One Day is a collection of humorous essays by David Sedaris, detailing his experiences growing up in a large family and his later move to Paris with his partner, Hugh. The book is known for its sharp observations and absurdity, particularly focusing on Sedaris's struggles to learn French from a harsh teacher and his humorous observations on identity and national stereotypes. The essays provide a window into his consciousness and explore themes like family, love, and his own insecurities.
