About This Book
"David Sedaris's ability to transform the mortification of everyday life
into wildly entertaining art," (The Christian Science Monitor) is
elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this
remarkable new book.
Trying to make coffee when the water is shut off, David considers using
the water in a vase of flowers and his chain of associations takes him
from the French countryside to a hilariously uncomfortable memory of
buying drugs in a mobile home in rural North Carolina. In essay after
essay, Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life-having a
lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger on a
plane or armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from
neurotic songbirds-to the most deeply resonant human truths. Culminating
in a brilliant account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking,
David Sedaris's sixth essay collection is a new masterpiece of comic
writing from "a writer worth treasuring" (Seattle Times).
Praise for When You Are Engulfed in Flames:
"Older, wiser, smarter and meaner, Sedaris...defies the odds once again
by delivering an intelligent take on the banalities of an absurd life."
--Kirkus Reviews
This latest collection proves that not only does Sedaris still have it,
but he's also getting better....Sedaris's best stuff will still--after
all this time--move, surprise, and entertain." --Booklist
