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.

我覺得很有意思哎，一個老年gay對傢人的碎碎念。感覺他和siblings的感情好好啊，總是在beach house一起八卦。也有很多很傷感沉重的話題，但似乎都被他講得很輕鬆。也有很多笑話，就是那種年紀大瞭可以想說啥說啥的感覺。有聲書裏麵穿插著幾個脫口秀，也挺好玩的。
评分a cancer whore-the disease has to be terminal!/may you build a house from your kidney stones hahahh/想喂給烏龜tumor的故事 (他反問憑什麼不能帶走明明it's my tumor I made it哈哈哈哈/they can't make us twelve again so they don't count as players./I'm not just a vehicle to my wallet!/想象有一個女朋友但所有的結尾都是她各種死法的部分./想要same sex marriage because I want it to be ours to spit on. hahhh
评分To be fair, I finished the entire audiobook. It’s my 3rd Sedaris book and I liked the other two. I’m not going to judge his attitude towards his family members, but there were certainly words that made me uncomfortable. Biggest problem was too much death, a**, and sh*t (literally) and I found it off-putting. Definitely not the type of humor I liked
评分family and life, odd but sweet
评分Makes me laugh a lot during these depressing days.
