A review by melistocrat
Calypso by David Sedaris

5.0

I loved this collection, mainly listening to it on Audiobook as I was traveling, an experience I enjoyed so much that I'm now going back to listen to older Sedaris books that he reads himself in audiobook format. Sedaris is truly best when he is writing about his family, a quirky bunch that are each interesting and funny in their own right. Some of these essays strike serious notes and are very poignant, as the book often addresses his father's age and his sister's suicide, but in true Sedaris fashion he always manages to find humor in life's ordinary moments.
