Calypso

Calypso

Calypso is the latest by David Sedaris. I love David Sedaris and am going to see him read later this month. However, this is probably my least favorite of his books. Deeply personal and quite heavy, with topics ranging from aging, to his sisters suicide, his relationship with his father, his mother’s alcoholism, etc.  Although still very clever and witty, I found this collection somewhat depressing; nowhere near as laugh out loud funny as Me Talk Pretty One Day or some of his earlier books. I still think he’s a great writer, I was just hoping to laugh a bit more.
