Calypso (English Edition) de David Sedaris

If you’ve ever laughed your way through David
Sedaris’s cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you’re
getting with Calypso. You’d be wrong.
When he buys a beach house on the Carolina
coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and
lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as
he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for
one tiny, vexing realization: it’s impossible to take a vacation from yourself.
With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable
powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these
stories are very, very funny – it’s a book that can make you laugh ’til you snort,
the way only family can. Sedaris’s powers of observation have never been
sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much
of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body
betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past
than future.
This
is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who
loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously
Sedaris’s darkest and warmest book yet – and it just might be his very best.
