In fact, there are only two kinds of flights: ones in which you die and ones in which you do not.
In his book "Calypso," David Sedaris explores the dichotomy of flight experiences, stressing that they boil down to two outcomes: survival or catastrophe. This stark perspective on travel reflects Sedaris's dark humor and his tendency to examine life's uncertainties. His thoughts encourage readers to confront the fears associated with flying and the inherent risks involved.
Through this lens, Sedaris invites readers to reflect on their own journeys, both literal and metaphorical. The quote underscores a common anxiety about flying—the tension between the joy of travel and the fear of danger. Ultimately, Sedaris's writing captures the complexities of life, where humor often intertwines with existential themes.
