Product Information

"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 Table of Contents: It's Catching Keeping Up The Understudy This Old House Buddy, Can You Spare a Tie?

  • The Best Book I've Read in a Very Long Time

    David Sedaris writes with such ease, honesty, and brilliant self constraint, that you are never left floundering through the pretentious over-writing of many young authors. His wit is dry, his tongue is never mean or rude, as he wisely lets the characters arround him curse or act ugly. Not once did I find a story boring or long as one does in many collections. The Smoking Section and The Man in The Hut are my favorites. Hi delicious descriptions of Japan an then Normandy place you right there with him, experiencing his curious never cruel take on events, places, and people who you can imagine knowing. This is a book which will have you laughing out loud. And the twisted description of this writer as being in your face gay and crude is an absolute mis-truth. He writes as a person who ...

  • I would read anything by this author. He is great fun.

    I only just started reading this book, but I have read a good deal of David Sedaris books and articles in the past. So far this is just as entertaining as I was expecting it to be. Be prepared to laugh because the author is a humorist and has a wonderful perspective on most everything.

  • Queer Eye For the Semi-Literate!

    Skip "When You Are Engulfed In Flames"; I wish I did. It was a gift, so I felt obligated to read it in it's entirety. It was a real chore, though. The back cover has half a dozen quotes attesting to this book's hilarity, but the only smile I cracked was when I reached page 326 (it's that blank page at the end of the book that let's you know you're finished). Sedaris should have put more energy into making his essays funny instead of reminding the reader of his homosexuality every three or four pages. It got old quick. Here's an example of this "comic genius" at work: (I'm opening the book to a random page) In an essay titled "The Smoking Section" (not meaning the designated smoking areas in restaurants or bars... ...

  • Sedaris is friggin' funny!

    Look, David Sedaris is one funny hombre, and people should celebrate the world over that this guy exists, writes, and is published in multiple languages. He's not funny the sort of "ha ha" way you expect a comic you pay $40 to go see. Instead, he's funny in a more muted sort of way that also captures the variety of emotions we live through. He's willing to paint himself in a less-than-likable sort of way, as though we are all viewing the antics of some bizarre civilization that has just been discovered. While there wasn't a single story in this collection that caused me to roll on the floor in laughter, like "6 to 10 Black Men" or "Me Talk Pretty One Day," the whole collection is very funny, and I think this might be my favorite Sedaris book. I highly recommend it.

  • Another Great Sedaris book!

    Thanks!!
