«Je parler français» is the humorous novel by David Sedaris, published by J'ai Lu Editions in paperback (317 pages, in French).
David Sedaris looks back on his childhood in North Carolina and his new life in Paris, learning French with relentless teachers. With acerbic wit, he turns the absurd everyday —language classes, the quirks of French culture, family tensions— into comedy.
Work originally published in English as «Me Talk Pretty One Day»; the French edition includes the translation by Georges Monny. In 2001 the work won the Thurber Prize and the Lambda Literary Award.
For readers who enjoy autobiographical humor and stories about life abroad told with irony.
