Calypso

Calypso by David Sedaris, 259 pages

In his latest collection of essays, David Sedaris ruminates on everything from aging to foreign traffic insults to relatives visiting from beyond the grave to his addiction to his Fitbit. Many of these essays focus on his family, including his nonagenarian father and his late sister Tiffany, who took her own life in 2013. While the essays still crackle with Sedaris' trademark humor, there's a degree of introspection here that doesn't always appear in his previous collections. That said, it is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend the audiobook, which is read by the author. A must if you're a fan of David Sedaris.
