«When You Are Engulfed in Flames» is a collection of essays by David Sedaris published by Little, Brown and Company in hardcover (323 pages, in English).
Essays in which David Sedaris turns small domestic disasters into comedy: making coffee with water from a vase, buying drugs in a North Carolina mobile home, protecting windows with LP sleeves, or quitting smoking in Tokyo. With irony and self-criticism, he addresses daily life, family, fear, and the absurdity of recognizable situations.
It is David Sedaris's sixth collection of essays. Originally published on June 3, 2008, it brings together 22 pieces.
For readers of humor and memoirs who enjoy irreverent autofiction and ironic observation of contemporary life.
