David Sedaris
I love David Sedaris. He is funny and poignant all at the same time. In Calypso, he basically tells the story of his family relationships, and in true form, some of his stories are told such that they MUST be exaggerated or made up. But at the same time, he tells them is such a way, that they are completely believable as 100% true. So you have to just read and enjoy. And along the way, you are pulled into the Sedaris family as he reflects honestly on love and disappointment and failure and guilt and crazy fun that all families experience at different levels for different times. I do think that my enjoyment was even greater since I listened to the audio version, read by Sedaris. This is a great memoir.
4 stars (out of 4)
