Me Talk Pretty One Day, published in 2000, is a bestselling collection of essays by American humorist David Sedaris.
 The book is separated into two parts.
 The first part consists of essays about Sedaris’s life before his move to Normandy, France, including his upbringing in suburban Raleigh, North Carolina, his time working odd jobs in New York City, and a visit to New York from a childhood friend and her bumpkinish girlfriend.
 The second section, "Deux", tells of Sedaris’s move to Normandy with his partner Hugh, often drawing humor from his efforts to live in France without speaking the French language and his frustrated attempts to learn it.
 Prior to publication, several of the essays were read by the author on the Public Radio International program, "This American Life".
The American Claimant is an 1892 novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain.
 Twain wrote the novel with the help of phonographic dictation, the first author (according to Twain himself) to do so.
 This was also (according to Twain) an attempt to write a book without mention of the weather, the first of its kind in fictitious literature.
 Indeed, all the weather is contained in an appendix, at the back of the book, which the reader is encouraged to turn to from time to time.

 The film was later adapted into a television series starring Patricia Crowley and Mark Miller.
 Mrs. Kerr followed up this book with two later best-selling collections, "The Snake Has All the Lines" and "Penny Candy".
