A new roundup of personal essays from the number one bestselling writer named by Time as America's favourite humorist! When set on fire, most of us either fumble for our wallets or waste valuable time feeling sorry for ourselves. David Sedaris has studied this phenomenon, and his resulting insights may very well save your life. Author of the national bestsellers Should You Be Attacked by Snakes and If You Are Surrounded by Mean Ghosts, When You are Engulfed by Flames finds Sedaris at the top of his game. Oh, all right, David Sedaris has written yet another book of essays (his sixth). Subjects include a parasitic worm that once lived in his mother-in-law's leg, an encounter with a dingo, and the recreational use of an external catheter. Also recounted is the buying of a human skeleton, and the author's attempt to quit smoking. In Tokyo. Master of nothing, at the dead centre of his game, Sedaris proves that when you play with matches, you sometimes light the whole pack on fire.

If you like David Sedaris.....
you'll love this one! Typical DS essays about his everyday life (Hah!), his quirky friends, etc., told in his usual dry style, with just a twist of snide.

LOVE IT
If you like David Sedaris' other work, this one won't disappoint. He just get's funnier and more relate-able with age. Will read it again.

Standard well wrirtten Sedaris
If you liked "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" you will enjoy this book. Essays are about later period of authors life.

David Sedaris just gets better with age, like a fine French wine I am sure he can't pronounce! This collection contains my favorite story about spiders, another about creepy presents and of course the tale of quitting smoking in Japan. Only Sedaris would pick a smoker's paradise in which to quit.
