When You Are Engulfed in Flames

Very smart and funny writing. I couldn't wait to read the next seemingly wacky story about Sedaris' life.

I think my thoughts on this book can be simply summed up in one amazing Sedaris quote...
“You think you know everything about your faithful follower, but it turns out that he's actually an orphaned fox who can change his shape at will. It was he who spoke my favorite line of the evening, five words that perfectly conveyed just how enchanting and full of surprises this Kabuki business really is: ‘That drum is my parents.'”
