BOOK TIP
Calypso
David Sedaris
David Sedaris’ trademark wit is still here, but in “Calypso,” his latest collection of essays, things get a little darker and more personal. Many of the essays deal with his family — funny stories that are nonetheless flecked with melancholy, about aging and loss. (The chapter about his sister Tiffany, who committed suicide, is heartbreaking.) I realize he was just here, at the Garde Arts Center in April, but diving into a Sedaris book just makes me hope that he comes back to the region for another reading and talk soon.
