Story
For more than 25 years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to listen without laughing.

A manic cross between Mark Leyner, Fran Lebowitz, and the National Enquirer, Sedaris' collection of essays is a rollicking tour through the national Zeitgeist: a do-it-yourself suburban dad saves money by performing home surgery; a man who is loved too much flees the heavyweight champion of the world; a teenage suicide tries to incite a lynch mob at her funeral; a bitter Santa abuses the elves.

Story
Dismissed by a bored author at a book signing, a betrayed young man named David Sedaris made a vow. Someday, when it was his turn at the table, he’d connect with his readers. The experience has been even more revealing than he’d hoped. In this hilarious and perceptive essay, the celebrated humorist reflects on the unusual patterns of forced socialization between author and audience, and the obligations and sometimes surprising returns of not-so-chance encounters with strangers: jokes, secrets, insights, and even charity.

Though they have the vote and the Pill and haven't been burned as witches since 1727, life isn't exactly a stroll down the catwalk for modern women. They are beset by uncertainties and questions: Why are they supposed to get Brazilians? Why do bras hurt? Why the incessant talk about babies? And do men secretly hate them? Caitlin Moran interweaves provocative observations on women's lives with laugh-out-loud funny scenes from her own, from adolescence to her development as a writer, wife, and mother.

If there’s one trait that makes someone well-suited to comedy, it’s being able to take a punch - metaphorically and, occasionally, physically. Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy - with a face you can’t help but want to punch.

Publisher's Summary
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 realisation: 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 realise 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.
Critic Reviews
"Unquestionably the king of comic writing...Calypso is both funnier and more heartbreaking than pretty much anything out there." (Hadley Freeman, Guardian)
“In Calypso, David Sedaris’s essays marry meditations on family, suicide, grief and mortality with the hazards of bodily functions and frequent travel for his massively popular public readings. Sedaris is as much standup comic as writer, making this a great audio and one for the car journey.” (Aminatta Forna)

Explores the spaces between you and your Family
A podcast that David had done with Conan O' Brien brought him to me. He will make you remember moments when you were eight years old and first spoke back to your dad. Or when you truly hated a sibling. And many more grotesque things about childhood as well.

Entertaining as ever
David Sedaris is as entertaining and iconoclastic as ever. More stories about later life than younger days but perhaps his young life has already been explored enough in his earlier books. He's an interesting narrator to listen to.

A laugh with a tear
This is now officially my favorite David Sedaris book. The audio version was great, and I would strongly recommend that you listen to the author tell these stories, as it really enhances the experience.
Sedaris has always been funny, but in Calypso there is always a keen sense of regret and/or sadness. Almost all the stories focus on his family, especially on his mom who passed away a few years ago and his sister who committed suicide. I laughed out loud and shed some tears, often doing both while listening to one paragraph.
This is probably not for everyone, but I think it takes quite a bit of talent to write about nothing and still make it interesting, humorous and touching.

Rrpeat repeat
I was disappointed to discover I have heard a lot of this material before. I think as parts of the bbc‘s ‘Meet David Sedaris’ series. Low rating for story is because it isn’t one so really this is not applicable. This is still laugh out loud funny though and the new material I really enjoyed. Particularly the touching piece about his sitter Tiffany.

A 'laugh out loud' treat!
As always, David Sedaris entertains and his frankness, humour and sensitivity, plus his obvious love for his family and loved ones, shines through in Calypso. However, having read/listened to almost everything he has written, I was a little dissapointed that some stories from previous books are included in this one and this leaves me feeling slightly short changed.

Not what I expected but thoroughly enjoyed it.
when I bought this I was expecting I different type if humour. However, I did thoroughly enjoy it. I felt it was very true to life and I could relate to a number of his stories, or could see other family members doing similar things. Due to it being a very real account of his life some parts are very emotional .

Another Slice of Sedaris Life
More essays about the life of David Sedaris and the characters that inhabit it, mostly hysterically funny, sometimes piercingly poignant and very occasionally heartbreakingly sad. Never boring, that's for sure. I listened to this in two big chunks as I always feel, somehow, befriended by the author and wanting to join in the conversation. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Dry humour at its very best
Sedaris is, in my opinion, a genius in writing. His darkly comic observations on all aspects of life, from rubbish collection to suicide, are handled in a way that neither disregards decency or humour. While we may not all share in his life experience, the open and unfiltered accounts he give leave the reader with the feeling of stepping in and out of someone else’s life and mind. Furthermore, his execution emphasises every possible piece of comedy and is even better as an audiobook than a written novel for it. As his most recent work (in 2018), it focuses more on middle age so I might consider downloading some of his earlier works first if you are new to him, but you will not miss out by starting with ‘Calypso’ either. So, unless you are extremely squeamish, this should be a compulsory listen.

Solid Sedaris. Hilarious late middle age memoir.
Excellent as expected. I prefer Sedaris's memoirs on Audio because his narration adds so much more intimacy and performance to it.
Covering his late middle age issues Calypso isn't my favourite but is none the less very memorable and full of chuckles.
There are plenty of heavy topics in this serving. The suicide of his sister, his deteriorating father, his own failing health. Covered with the right mix of pathos and perspective they are still light enough for a laugh.
There are also many highlights on lighter topics such as an international survey of road rage slurs, unexpected bowel movements and David's determined mission to feed a snapping turtle a pound of his own flesh... For whatever reason. I laughed out loud numerous times at the gym while listening to these chapters.
You simply cannot go wrong with Sedaris. While not his most jovial or insightful, it is a new, more mature (sometimes), era of his writing.

Loved it, loved it, loved it
I've glanced at the bits and pieces of David Sedaris's writing before and enjoyed it well enough, but never got the absolute devotion of his fans. Well I do now.
To be frank, when I listened to the sample I wasn't sure I would want to listen to his delivery at length, but then I laughed and laughed again, and went ahead and got the audiobook. I absolutely loved it. So much so, I bought a copy of the book as a birthday present the next week. I eked it out towards the end so it wouldn't be done with, and now I'm about to get more of his audiobooks.
It has made me laugh aloud so many times, but there's also touching and revealing sections, which are brilliantly judged. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Total joy
For fans, there really is nothing to say really except David wrote another collection of stories and he’s reading them himself.
For newcomers I’d say start with his book ‘Naked’ so you have some context for the family Sedaris.
How rare and wonderful to know, with absolute certainty, that you will love a book, and more importantly the voice that is reading it will be perfect. And it is.
