Calypso by David Sedaris

3.0

---

I appreciated the style of writing in this book and found it humorous at times but overall it felt too scattered for me. There were some heavier topics that were made light of which bothered me at times. I know people use humour to deal with things but I prefer when there is a bit more resolution to it beyond the humour. Altogether it was a quick read that made me laugh at times. I haven’t read any of his other books so maybe there is more continuity between them but I didn’t catch an overall theme to the book.
