Sedaris se va a la playa, en la costa de Carolina, para intentar desconectar de todo, pero no puede huir de sà mismo. Ni de su familia. Ni de su trabajo. Ni de su adicción a la pulserita que le cuenta los pasos. Ni del suicidio de su hermana. Ni de su padre de derechas. Ni de Donald Trump. ¿La única solución? ReÃrse de sà mismo y de sus miserias como catarsis necesaria para seguir viviendo. Según The Guardian, el diario británico más prestigioso, «David Sedaris es el rey indiscutible de la literatura humorÃstica». Y Calypso es su obra definitiva, la que contiene toda su risa, toda su melancolÃa. Chistes escatológicos con una prosa digna de Dorothy Parker, animales acomplejados, fantasmas alcohólicos y toda la ternura del mundo.

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 funnyâ??it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have 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 tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yetâ??and it just might be his very No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
