A review by ryandk
Calypso by David Sedaris

2.0

2.5 - This book has a lot of great laugh out loud moments as well as some heartwarming and somber. Sedaris does good job balancing the harder moments of life with some levity, but ultimately the book felt it was lacking a central thesis (or maybe I was too dense to pick up on it, this is a very real possibility). This lack of focus made the collection of stories feel somehow a tad repetitive and disjointed at the same time, but ultimately I’m glad I read it and would gladly read more of Sedaris’s work.
