Library "Calypso" book discussions begin today

Copies of the book, “Calypso” by best-selling author and humorist David Sedaris will be available free for the first 20 participants who attend a series of entertaining discussions on the book.

The discussions will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 14 and 21 in Room 309 of the Texas Tech University Library. Refreshments will be served.

  • Students who attend both reading group meetings will be eligible to join a private Q&A session with David Sedaris (5 spaces available).
  • Participants who attend both reading group meetings will be entered into a prize drawing for 2 general admission tickets to David Sedaris’s lecture on October 30.

“Calypso” is a collection of 21 semi-autobiographical essays by Sedaris. Fourteen of the essays were previously published in a magazine or newspaper, some under a different title or in a different form. “Calypso” is described as his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book.


This discussion is part of a series of group book reads sponsored jointly by the Humanities Center at Texas Tech and the University Libraries. The book selection aligns with the 2019 Presidential Lecture Series presentation of “An Evening with David Sedaris” Oct. 30.

Contact Jack Becker, jack.becker@ttu.edu, or 806.834.1615 to reserve a spot and a copy of the book.
