This week’s staff pick features one of America’s most beloved humorists, David Sedaris. His self-deprecating and witty style is in full swing in When You Are Engulfed in Flames, and if you are looking for something to make you laugh, look no further.
“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 center of his game, Sedaris proves that when you play with matches, you sometimes light the whole pack on fire.” -Goodreads.com
You can find When You Are Engulfed in Flames in our Staff Picks display at the DeMott Lane Branch.
Thanks for reading!
