OCTOBER BOOK
Our book for October is Calypso by David Sedaris (link). We'll be returning to Joey's Shipyards location in North Vancouver, just a short walk from the Seabus terminal (Joey). The huge covered patio will shelter us from any inclement weather. Come and join the fun this Tuesday evening (Oct 5). As usual, festivities commence at 7pm and all are welcome.
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.
