Screamingly delightful

As I've only read one other of David Sedaris's books, Me Talk Pretty, I found this one just as entertaining if not more so. The man has a style of writing that is vivid and infinitely amusing. I await the next addition to this author's body of work.

Another Future Classic

David Sedaris is probably one of the most iconic writers of this generation.
He continues to amuse the masses with this book. With a strong similarity to Me Talk Pretty One Day Sedaris tells a few stories of his childhood but focuses on his adult life.

A must read for the "laugh out loud" crowd, Sedaris continues to be an amazing humorist and author.

PISS YOUR PANTS FUNNY!!

Hillarious, Wonderful, made me cry with laughter. I own all of David's books and this one is a great collection essays. I read this book out louud to all of my co-workers and we all laughed through out the entire book. If you want to laugh David's books are the best.

Laugh Out Loud

If you like David Sedaris you will love this! It is laugh-out-loud funny. If you grew up in the 60's/70's with several siblings you will feel like you could have been a member of his family. His writing should be made into movies with, of course, his sister Amy playing his mother! Imagine casting that movie!

Loved it!!

A bit dark but always thoughtful and funny inspite of the pain he goes through.

"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
