"Titles change!"



David Sedaris: we are fans, we must admit. Not of all of his work, but much of it. We missed the fact that the title of his latest book, set for a June publication date, keeps on changing. Leon Neyfakh at the Observer didn't, and asked Sedaris to please explain.

We can't help but sort of adore the fact that Sedaris loves the titles his boyfriend suggests and then, ultimately, rejects them. He should write an essay about that, we think.

When You Are Engulfed in Flames sounds apropo to us. It provides magical cover art possibilities, at the very least.
