Calypso by David Sedaris

4.0

Calypso is probably my favorite from David Sedaris (with the possible exception of Santaland Diaries), with just the right blend of humor, poignancy, truthfulness, and even a few tears. I never cry over books, but I shed a few when he was writing about his mother. This seems to have been written by a kinder, gentler, more mature Sedaris, but one who still sees the humor in bodily functions, and can now understand and empathize with the shame.
