WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES

Book ID/图书代码： 03890008B21373

English Summary/英文概要： 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"

Chinese Summary/中文概要： David Sedaris把每天所發生的窘事，轉變成一件件的幽默藝術。

Awards/获奖情况：Kirkus Reviews
"Older, wiser, smarter and meaner, Sedaris...defies the odds once again by delivering an intelligent take on the banalities of an absurd life."
Booklist
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."
