About this product

Product Information

David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book. 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.

    Its nice to have the money to do the things you want

    I love David Sedaris books. His best may be behind him. But i will always buy anything he writes. This one has some very funny parts. But most are pretty run of the mill stories about family and the beach house he and hugh bought.

    Some funny, some not...

    If you are a big Sedaris fan, you will probably like this book. my 40 yer old son thought it was hilarious and recommended it. The author's humor, while intermittently funny, is a bit snarky for me.

    Sedaris is BACK...

    It's typical David Sedaris with stories you can relate to; if you like his take on the norm, you'll love this collection.

    Fast read...left me laughing & crying!

    If you're a fan of David Sedaris, this book will not disappoint! It is a bit darker than his previous tomes, but it strikes home for this widowed NC gal who has dealt with family situations as parents get older, and more persona carel/involvement is required. I found myself laughing out loud in various places in the book, and then crying just moments later. Each chapter is almost like a stand-alone essay, and the book can be picked up and re-read just about anywhere. I first read the book from the library, and decided it was definitely worth buying. Loved it!
