Book Review: "Calypso" by David Sedaris
Sedaris is very hit-or-miss for me. I recall cackling to one of his readings in the car with my mom in high school. But I also remember revisiting him a couple times over the years and being completely unimpressed.
Calypso was much of the same, unfortunately.
I laughed my ass off at the chapter titled “The Perfect Fit”, originally a New Yorker piece, where David and his sisters find themselves helplessly addicted to buying absurdly ill-fitting and expensive clothing in Tokyo’s most posh neighborhoods. “What are you doing? That’s three pairs of culottes you’ll own now.”
