David Sedaris wrote When You Are Engulfed in Flames. Sedaris=Hilarious. What a sicko. What a twisted sense of humor. I love his writing. He can take a common awkward occurrence and turn it into a funny essay. This book is a collection of awkward moments and funny essays. His humor isn't exactly mood lightening kind of humor. You're not going to feel better when the book is done. Sedaris writes about the common person, our baser instincts, and our gut feelings. He uncovers the layers of grace and social niceties. He leaves bare the nitty gritty and some of the things other people might think are better left unsaid.
