A review by realmagicfakereality
Calypso by David Sedaris

4.0

For those looking for a typical laugh-out-loud take on David Sedaris's absurd life, this is not the book for you. Sedaris takes a much more intimate look at his relationship with his boyfriend, Hugh, his sisters, and his parents in this collection of short autobiographical stories. Although I did laugh out loud at parts of this book, it was definitely not light hearted. I applaud Sedaris for being so vulnerable and shamelessly and refreshingly honest about his personal life.
