SEDARIS STRIKES GOLD WITH "CALYPSO"!
Sedaris' last few books, for me, have lacked his magic. That snap, that funny, that sharp remark. When I read the "Calypso" preview, I immediately got in the library queue. It was so good to read this book and laugh out loud like I did with his early works. I don't know what's funnier - his family or just the way he writes about them. And how many of us want to hang out with all of them at "Sea Section"? I couldn't love him more for naming the 'family beach house' in only a way Sedaris could do it.
I recently saw Amy Sedaris on the Colbert Show and she told of how the family has an annual tan contest at the beach house. How wonderfully ridiculous and fun does that sound?
The world needs more Sedaris!
