"Sedaris’s droll assessment of the mundane and the eccentrics who inhabit the world’s crevices makes him one of the greatest humorists writing today” -Chicago Tribune
“When a writer like Sedaris comes along who can make you giddy with laughter at the same time that he’s visiting some of the darker corners of existence, we ought to celebrate.” -San Jose Mercury News
Here’s a, um, taste of Mr. Sedaris’ new book of essays When You Are Engulfed By Flames.

As much as I enjoy reading David’s books, I really get giddy when he reads his essays on The American Life.

Love David Sedaris. Have for years. His essay, “Six to Eight Black Men” is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.

Just finished cleaning up the spew… I may go back to staying up late and watching letterman in case this is what is actually on his show.

Yes re: “Six to Eight Black Men.” Not many people make me laugh out loud when I read them, but David Sedaris does. Unfailingly.

Seriously. . .Funny and mildly disterbing!
Also, the cringe factor in full swing hearing about the “scabs”.
