Book Review of When You Are Engulfed In Flames

When You Are Engulfed In Flames
cmwhitson avatar reviewed on


Sedaris is nothing if not entertaining. When You Are Engulfed in Flames reads like a disjointed collection of thoughts and memories, an odd mixture of absurdly hilarious and truly cringe-worthy moments that never fails to fascinate. At times disturbing, Sedaris work covers a variety of taboo topics and is not for the faint of heart. His books have a markedly polarizing effect on readers, so youll either love him or hate him. Hes one of my favorite humorist authors.
