"David Sedaris's ability to transform the mortification of everyday life into wildly entertaining art," (The Christian Science Monitor) is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this remarkable new book.Trying to make coffee when the water is shut off, David considers using the water in a vase of flowers and his chain of associations takes him from the French countryside to a hilariously uncomfortable memory of buying drugs in a mobile home in rural North Carolina. In essay after essay, Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life-having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger on a plane or armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds-to the most deeply resonant human truths. Culminating in a brilliant account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedaris's sixth essay collection is a new masterpiece of comic writing from "a writer worth treasuring" (Seattle Times). Praise for When You Are Engulfed in Flames "Older, wiser, smarter and meaner, Sedaris...defies the odds once again by delivering an intelligent take on the banalities of an absurd life." --Kirkus Reviews This latest collection proves that not only does Sedaris still have it, but he's also getting better....Sedaris's best stuff will still--after all this time--move, surprise, and entertain." --Booklist Table of Contents:

"Patriotic Perfection in Leather - A 5-Star Salute to Tommy Hilfiger!"
Size: One Size, Color: Red/White/Blue
In a world where wallets come and go, the Tommy Hilfiger Leather Wallet in its resplendent red, white, and blue has emerged as a timeless tribute to style and patriotism. It's not just a wallet; it's a declaration of fashion independence, and I'm here to wave its flag high and proud!
From the moment this beauty arrived, it was clear it was something special. The leather - oh, the leather! - is as supple as the land of the free itself, with a craftsmanship that whispers tales of artisanal mastery. Its vibrant hues aren't just colors; they're a salute to style, a nod to the brand's heritage, and a high-five to good old-fashioned Americana.
Functionality hasn't taken a backseat to fashion, either. This wallet is like the Swiss Army knife of financial carriers - slots aplenty, with each card and bill cradled in the luxury they didn't know they needed. It's as if Tommy himself sat down and thought, "Let's make something that not only holds your money but elevates it."
And let's talk durability. This wallet has been through the wringer - back pockets, crowded bags, a toddler's curious hands - and emerged each time looking as dapper as a Fourth of July parade. It's the Bruce Springsteen of wallets: rugged, enduring, and unapologetically American.
In awarding this gem a well-deserved 5 stars, I'm not just rating a product; I'm endorsing a piece of art that blends functionality with a fierce sense of style. The Tommy Hilfiger Leather Wallet in red, white, and blue is more than an accessory; it's a companion for life, a slice of the American dream tucked neatly into your pocket.

Nice Wallet
Size: One Size, Color: Oxford Black
Nice looking wallet. I thought with the tri-fold it would be bulky in partners back pocket. Nope all good. Lots of places to insert credit cards, licence. Recommend for those who like a slim wallet

Thick but light wallet with many card holders
Size: One Size, Color: Oxford Black
Similar to my other trifold Tommy Hilfilger wallet that it is replacing that lasted almost 10 years. The leather itself doesn't feel particularly thick and the stitches are just average. There was some glue in the edges of some of the card pockets that needed to be broken up, but the pockets fit cards well otherwise. It is quite thick due to the capability to hold 9 cards in its inner faces + 1 ID card. However, it is quite light. At this price, I think the quality is reasonable.
