Hi.

Welcome to The Stumped, a website of writing + design by two brothers. Pick something - and get reading.

Book Club: Calypso

For the Brothers Book Club Podcast, a BOOK CLUB entry is an in-depth assessment of the book. Expect rampant spoilers, textual analysis, and quotes aplenty.

This book club is on Calypso by David Sedaris. From the cover: “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.”
