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.
一如既往地幽默,超出我能接受的范围。幽默其实都是很残酷的。
评分I know Sedaris's humor isn't for everyone, and I am not head over heels in love with his writing. But once in a while, I do miss his ability to make seemingly impossible situations and subjects (e.g., suicide, Trump, alcoholism, etc.) funny. This is a nice summer read.
评分(惊呼:原来你是Princess Carolyn的哥哥!)"Pocket gay" 自己念的有声书,跟听现场stand up似的。总体写得很有趣,最后那边讲每个国家的骂人真的是笑尿了,真实性未知,但是真的太好笑了哈哈哈哈
评分一个一个小故事,读起来轻松愉快
