The reviewers love the latest collection from David Sedaris, When You Are Engulfed In Flames: 

'All hail the king of comedy... The truth is that genuinely funny writers are frighteningly rare, and genuinely funny books of autobiographical musings rarer still. Fortunately, quite a number of them seem to have been written by David Sedaris’ Marcus Berkmann, Sunday Times

'A virtual Klondike of darkly glittering anecdotes' Observer

'Sedaris' anecdotes play off his sublime talent for turning the absurdly neurotic into the hilariously funny' GQ

'Howlingly funny, jaw-snappingly honest and endlessly perceptive... Sedaris' wellspring of quirky yet strangely universal comic experiences show no sign of drying up' Daily Mail

'The most popular American humorist since Woody Allen' Sunday Telegraph

'It's a cracker. David Sedaris, acid tongued transatlantic humorist, knows his way around an opening line' Andrew Collins, Word Magazine

'Reading this new collection of memoir-essay-stories by the master US humorist David Sedaris is like being tickled on the ribs by someone you love: you laugh hysterically, feel a mixture of excitement and irritation, and instinctively wiggle away as exhaustions sets in' Independent
