Description

In this deeply personal and darkly hilarious collection of essays, a beach house on the Carolina coast becomes the setting for family gatherings, eccentric encounters, and reflections on what it means to grow older. With his characteristic wit and razor-sharp powers of observation, Sedaris explores mortality, grief, complicated family bonds, and the uneasy realization that no vacation can offer a true escape from oneself. Balancing absurdity with tenderness, these candid stories find unexpected humor in loss, aging, caregiving, and the rituals that hold families together.
