''Sedaris is the premier observer of our world and its weirdnesses''
ADAM KAY

''Funnier and more heartbreaking than pretty much anything out there''
HADLEY FREEMAN, GUARDIAN

''The brilliance of David Sedaris'' writing is that his very essence, his aura, seeps through the pages of his books like an intoxication cloud''
ALAN CUMMING, NEW YORK TIMES

''The funniest writer alive today''
JONATHAN ROSS

''An incredibly funny and sometimes moving meditation on love, death and family life''
SUNDAY TIMES

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.

Anmeldelser av Calypso:

We get more of a glimpse than we have before of what lies behind the carapace of a writer who seems able to turn almost any situation to comic gold . . . [an] incredibly funny and sometimes moving meditation on love, death and family life, by a master of his craft (Sunday Times)
Hilarious and moving . . . Sedaris may well be the master of the deadpan delivery - there's plenty of laughing out loud while you read. But Calypso is also a tender portrait of a family, flawed - like any other - but doing their best to love each other (Lucy Scholes Independent)
Unquestionably the king of comic writing . . . Calypso is both funnier and more heartbreaking than pretty much anything out there (Hadley Freeman Guardian)
Entrancing . . . This book allows us to observed not just the nimble-mouthed elf of his previous work, but a man in his seventh decade expunging his darker secrets and contemplating mortality . . . The brilliance of David Sedaris's writing is that his very essence, his aura, seeps through the pages of his books like an intoxicating cloud, mesmerising us so that his logic becomes ours (Alan Cumming New York Times)
Calypso is another triumph from the dinner-table raconteur we all wish we could be, a writer whose lightness of touch makes you confront the hardest of truths - and laugh out loud (Esquire)
