When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
At least one essay surprised me, because it turned out to be a fiction -- not in the Million Little Pieces way, but a bona fide short story. This volume did not please me as much as Me Talk Pretty One Day did, but I think part of that must be that I had seen several of these essays previously in The New Yorker magazine, so I missed the pleasure of completely new material.
I wasn't near my computer to post these on the big day, so here they are now: the three parts of David Sedaris' spin on the Dutch holiday traditions. He also has a work that chronicles his December as a Santa elf in a department store. Santa Diaries maybe? I cannot remember.
The trick now is to listen to the clips in the right order. Ready, set, go!
