David Sedaris

The enigmatic and mysterious name Calypso is shared by a Greek sea nymph, an African-Caribbean dance rhythm, and one of Saturn’s moons.

The autobiographical stories in David Sedaris’ new book of the same name revolve around the solar center, the critical mass in every life – the family. During the holidays, the Sedaris clan comes together in their parent’s beach cottage, later in David Sedaris’ own refuge with an ocean view, mending the intergenerational quilt of failed relationships, tragic deaths, late insights, and stubborn love for the friends whom you cannot choose.

Bestselling author David Sedaris, born 1956 in Johnson City, New York, raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, lives in England. He writes for the New Yorker and BBC Radio 4.
