David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book. 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 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 yet--and it just might be his very best.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/1124.html
” 如果你曾经在大卫·塞达里斯那些搞笑又厌世的故事中找到乐子，你可能会猜到这本书在讲什么。但你想的其实是错的。“文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/1124.html
当塞达里斯在卡罗莱纳海岸买下一间海滨别墅的时候，他期待能在这里度过悠长又放松的假期，比如玩玩桌游或者在躺椅上做个日光浴。事实上在“域海”（他给这间度假别墅起的名字）的生活确实如他想象的一样悠闲，美中不足的是，他领悟到一个小烦恼：人真的很难彻底放空自己。文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/1124.html
在这本书中，年逾六十的塞达里斯通过一个个小故事对中年危机和死亡进行了细致的刻画。别误会：这些故事是非常，非常搞笑的——可以让你笑到停不下来，就像家人才能做到的那样。塞达里斯的观察力从来没有这么犀利过，他逗笑读者的能力也是一如既往的无与伦比。但本书大部分的段子其实来源于一些郁闷的时刻，当你的身体正在背叛你自己，你意识到在你人生的篇章中，可期待的未来已经所剩无几，更多的是过去的回忆。文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/1124.html
如果你厌恶海滩，这对你来说就是一本极佳的海滩读物。如果你讨厌闲聊，有兴趣听一个关于肿瘤的笑话，这本书你就一定要读。《卡利普索》是塞达里斯迄今为止最黑暗同时又最温暖的书——也可能是他最棒的作品。文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/1124.html
