A new roundup of personal essays from the number 1 bestselling writer named by TIME as America's Favourite Humorist When set on fire, most of us either fumble for our wallets or waste valuable time feeling sorry for ourselves. David Sedaris has studied this phenomenon, and his resulting insights may very well save your life. Author of the national bestsellers Should You Be Attacked by Snakes and If You Are Surrounded by Mean Ghosts, WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES finds Sedaris at the top of his game. Oh, all right...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 centre of his game, Sedaris proves that when you play with matches, you sometimes light the whole pack on fire.
