Calypso

Calypso

by David Sedaris

2019

David Sedaris trades his usual observational distance for a more personal lens in this collection, chronicling life at his new beach house. While the familiar sharp wit and hilariously awkward family dynamics are present, there's a new undercurrent of contemplating mortality and the indignities of aging. Fans will still find plenty to laugh at, but this time, the humor is tinged with a profound, and often dark, honesty that makes it his most resonant work yet.
