Calypso

In Calypso, David Sedaris shares his most personal and hilariously dark anecdotes. Though you may think you know what to expect from the misanthropic author, his new vacation home on the Carolina coast proves otherwise. While he envisions relaxing days with loved ones, he soon realizes that one cannot escape themselves, even on holiday. With sharp observations on aging and mortality, Sedaris's trademark humor shines through, leaving readers unable to contain their laughter. This is not your typical beach read, but rather a must-read for those who despise small talk and appreciate a good joke. Calypso showcases Sedaris's mastery of storytelling and may just be his best book yet.
