Fiction
When You Are Engulfed in Flames
A Back Bay paperback of David Sedaris's 2008 essay collection, his sixth, covering family dysfunction, travel humiliations, a parasitic worm, and a long trip to Tokyo to quit smoking. Sedaris's tone is observant, mean, and unexpectedly tender, often within the same paragraph. The Back Bay trade paperback has the clean design of a humor book that expects to be read in public and laughed at inappropriately. Ideal reader: the reader who believes the best comedy comes from admitting what most people edit out, or the Sedaris fan who has already memorized the earlier collections and needs new material.
