Kad ste utopljeni u plamenu

Kad ste utopljeni u plamenu

David Sedaris

If it seems to you that beneath the surface of the sometimes monotonous everyday life lies a hilarious absurdity, David Sedaris will finally convince you of that.

When You're Drowned in Flames, Sedaris' sixth book, and the first in the Algorithm edition that he presents to Croatian readers, consists of a series of essays connected by the author's incredible insights into the lives we live every day, spiced up with those familiar efforts to quit smoking. The essay topics range from trying to make coffee when the water is turned off, unusual events in the French countryside, buying drugs in a North Carolina RV, the embarrassment of dropping a candy bar from your mouth and landing on your fellow passenger's lap on a plane, going to Japan solely for the purpose of quitting smoking, and many more pretty incredible things that will have you giggling and laughing out loud with the book, wherever you find yourself. Both critics and audiences around the world agree – Sedaris is, simply put, a comedy genius.

Franz Kafka

The second volume of Kafka's diaries covers the crucial years 1912–1914. This volume is a bridge between the early sketches and the mature novels, and the fragments are raw, aphoristic, full of self-mutilation, but also ingenious introspection.
