DAVID SEDARIS - GEBRAUCHT CALYPSO - PREIS VOM 2...

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.
