Mini-Mini Review: When You Are Engulfed in Flames

For those of you living the go-get-'em lifestyle who don't have time to read the review below, here's an annotated version.

David Sedaris's newest collection of wacky short stories, "When You Are Engulfed in Flames," might not be his best book. Even the gullible reader will have a few "are you kidding me?" moments. But it's a solid entry in the Sedaris ouevre. The stories are short, the characters bizarre, and the jokes hilarious. It's all any Sedarifan could ask for.

How can someone who is so famous and rich still manage to get famouser and richer by playing the hang dog loser in book after book?
