Synopsis
A new collection of essays from the #1 New York Times bestselling author who has been called "the preeminent humorist of his generation" ( Entertainment Weekly ). From the unique perspective of David Sedaris comes a new collection of essays taking his listeners on a bizarre and stimulating world tour. From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences. Whether railing against the habits of litterers in the English countryside or marveling over a disembodied human arm in a taxidermist's shop, Sedaris takes us on side-splitting adventures that are not to be forgotten.

PRAISE FOR WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES: "It's not just that Sedaris's crisp prose is humorous. What makes his work a consistent joy to read is his deliciously skewed vision of the world, and his deadpan delivery.", PRAISE FOR WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES: "It's not just that Sedaris's crisp prose is humorous. What makes his work a consistent joy to read is his deliciously skewed vision of the world, and his deadpan delivery."'e" Christopher Muther , Boston Globe, "Sedaris is certainly worthy of hero worship-he so breezily translates the landscape through his bent, prismatic view that he makes you forget what a skillful narrator he is."-- Mark Washburn , Charlotte Observer, "David Sedaris is horribly observant. He sees things as they are.... He'll be telling some weird story, and all of a sudden, just at the end, it turns out not only to be about him, but also about you."-- Nancy Dalva , New York Observer, David Sedaris is horribly observant.

He'll be telling some weird story, and all of a sudden, just at the end, it turns out not only to be about him, but also about you."'e" Nancy Dalva , New York Observer, "Artfully milked embarrassing personal incidents for literary laughs...There are plenty of well-cut gems, including one about an ill-fated adoption of some sea turtles that's both hilarious and touching." ---Thom Geier, Entertainment Weekly, PRAISE FOR LET'S EXPLORE DIABETES WITH OWLS : "Sedaris is a remarkably skilled storyteller and savvy essayist. He weaves together vivid images and sensations into a coherent whole that packs a serious emotional punch....Yes, David Sedaris is really that good. And, based on this latest collection, he's getting only better." ---Heather Havrilesky, Los Angeles Times, PRAISE FOR WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES: "It's not just that Sedaris's crisp prose is humorous.

Pros: Seller shipped very quickly, and both the item price & shipping price were very reasonable. Cons: Item was not packed securely. The "shipping box" was loose cardboard taped around the book, and one corner didn't meet and wasn't sealed off with tape, so the book was exposed to the elements in transit. Book was also listed as "very good," which means no highlighting or writing, but one workbook page is completely filled in. For the price, though, I'll keep the item.

As expected. Great price. Packaging was protective but kind of messy. Styrofoam beads everywhere. But shipping g was super fast and overall great seller. Would buy from again.

Been looking for these books forever, they’re all exactly as described. But, as other reviewers have mentioned, the seller has a long way to grow with packaging products. what were good condition comics arrived with crushed corners and one single bag + board in the 30 issues. If the quality isnt the most important aspect to you, the shipping time was excellent and it arrived incredibly quickly.

  • Pick another book/CD. 2 thumbs down!

    I have been a loyal fan for years. Sadly, I was disappointed in this latest book/CD. He seemed extra grumpy and not really humorous. If you are new to David Sedaris, choose another book/CD.

  • funny and sad

    typical david sedaris humor, but with more edgy issues at the end. In light of recent political events, very timely, now more than the time of publishing, ie racism, homophobia. A lot of exploration of issues with his father.
