In several chapters, he even examines his relationship with long time partner Hugh Hamrick, which he’d only given cursory mention to in his previous books. The first three quarters of the book is classic Sedaris – short essays about pretty much any topic that on the surface seems mundane a visit to the doctor, helping his elderly neighbor with housework, or dealing with a heinous childhood babysitter. Though I’d be quite hard-pressed to pinpoint a favorite, this book has a bit of a different feel than all of its predecessors, and has the best cover art by far. Being a long time David Sedaris fan, I can safely say that “When You are Engulfed in Flames” is one of his best works as of yet.
