«Calypso» is David Sedaris's collection of humorous essays, published by Blackie Books in hardback (272 pages, in Spanish).
David Sedaris spends summers on the Carolina coast to unwind, but he can't escape his family, his work, or his quirks. With scatological humor and tenderness, he discusses his sister's suicide, his obsession with a step-counting bracelet, and his father, turning laughter into catharsis to accept that his life has more past than future.
Translated by Jorge de Cascante from the original English published in 2018. The Spanish edition was published on March 11, 2020.
For readers of humor and memoirs seeking an ironic and moving look at family and the passage of time.
