Calypso
by David Sedaris
“Happiness is harder to put into words. It’s also harder to source, much more mysterious than anger or sorrow, which come to me promptly, whenever I summon them, and remain long after I’ve begged them to leave.”
An account of real life incidents and emotions, focusing mostly on family but also on personal fears, pet peeves and embarrassing situations, this book is naturally relatable. It feels as if you’re sitting with a close friend and they’re just letting everything out in their comic narrative style while also somehow leaving you with the real sense of the pain and discomfort behind those catchy punch lines!
I’m sure the book will not lose its charm no matter at which stage of my life I read it - there’s a bit about all of them.
