Acerca de esta escucha

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The latest essay collection by humorist David Sedaris is a meditation on aging. It's a sardonic one at that, that he narrates himself in his quintessential tongue-in-cheek fashion.... Fans of Sedaris, who may well be in the middle of their own lives by now, will listen along, laughing, and perhaps wiping away a few tears." (AudioFile)

Featured Article: The Best Audiobooks Under 7 Hours


Have some time to spare? All of the audiobooks on this list come in under seven hours, so they’re perfect for a single-session binge or a multi-day journey. While some may say the longer the book the better, we believe there is a lot of value in short audiobooks. Some of the best nonfiction is short and powerful, while short sci-fi stories and fantasy novels are just the thing when you want to escape the world but don't have time to get absorbed in a 30-hour tome. Time and attention spans are short these days, so we've got you covered with some of the best audiobooks under seven hours across multiple genres.

I will never not read a Sedaris collection. He is my favorite non fiction author!

Sedaris does it again

David Sedaris is wonderful as always. You will love this collection. It is strikingly dark. Ageing and suicide are overarching tropes. Of course the funny, clever, and unexpected Sedaris stories are there as ever. Enjoy.

An older, darker, David

What can I say? Words don’t do this book justice. David Sedaris has a way of putting in to words emotions and memories like no other. I laughed, I cried a little and I hated when it ended. I feel this is one of his better books and I’ve read them all. The first Sedaris book I. Read was Naked, lent to me during a trip to Europe by a friend I was traveling with at the time. I can just imagine the looks on the faces of the other travelers as I read and could not help but laugh out loud. Fierce that I read more of his books and here I stand, a true fan 4-ev-a! Don’t hesitate for one brief minute to get this book, you will not regret having done so! Thanks Mr. Sedaris for a look in to your world!

Doesn’t get any better than this!

Definitely worth listening to! It’s a great performance. Sedaris, and his family, is so quirky and hilarious.

Must listen!

More of this great writer's greatness. I can't get enough of his stories and the fact he tells them himself is what makes all these audiobooks so valuable. Highly recommended.

So sad at times tho

I really enjoyed the stories. I laughed so hard at the grocery store while listening that I may have appeared off the chain to others who didn’t know I was listening to an audiobook. I found the curses that people in Europe would say to others, who cut them off while driving, or stole their parking spots, very interesting. Two of the curses were very funny. American curses are succinct, but Europeans curse in prose. I enjoyed it. The writing style is excellent. I would listen to this again.

Funny and realistic
