Naked (1997)
Naked is a 1997 essay collection by American humorist David Sedaris. His second book after 1994's Barrel Fever, it details his life, from his unusual upbringing in the suburbs of Raleigh, North Carolina, to his booze-and-drug-ridden college years, to his Kerouacian wanderings as a young adult. Many of the essays originated from his time on NPR's This American Life but were rewritten for publication to include more "unpleasant mental pictures." Naked was released by Little, Brown and Company, and it reached No. 6 on the New York Times best-seller list for Hardcover nonfiction.
