When You Are Engulfed in Flames

When You Are Engulfed in Flames
by David Sedaris [817 Sed]

Another collection of stories by David Sedaris about shenanigans in his life, this one includes living in France, crazy old lady neighbors, awkward airline experiences, family memories, and trying to quit smoking in Japan. The collection is easy to follow because of his writing style, and the book is hard to put down as Sedaris' humor will make you laugh out loud. [If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try other books written by David Sedaris such as Me Talk Pretty One Day and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim or something by his sister Amy Sedaris like I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence.] -- recommended by Carrie K. - Bennett Martin Public Library

[Also available in downloadable audio, book-on-cd and downloadable E-book formats.]
