If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny - it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's writing has never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future. This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumour joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet - and it just might be his very best.
The latest book by David Sedaris is a delight as always. Even though it’s about sensitive topics such as aging, love and spirituality, there are still some serious laughing-out-loud moments. He can write about anything and there is always a sense of familiarity to his stories. David Sedaris is the comfort food you go for when you are homesick.
评分还记得几年前第一次读Sedaris觉得他的幽默格外犀利,毕竟那时候还没读过David Foster Wallace,优秀的beach read,也挺适合在公园长凳上坐一下午一口气读完,算是两本fiction之间的palette cleanser吧!
