Based on a True Story: Not a Memoir

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – “”Driving, wild and hilarious”” ( The Washington Post ), here is the incredible “”memoir”” of the legendary actor, gambler, raconteur, and Saturday Night Live veteran. When Norm Macdonald, one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time, was approached to write a celebrity memoir, he flatly refused, calling the genre “”one step below instruction manuals.”” Norm then promptly took a two-year hiatus from stand-up comedy to live on a farm in northern Canada. When he emerged he had under his arm a manuscript, a genre-smashing book about comedy, tragedy, love, loss, war, and redemption. When asked if this was the celebrity memoir, Norm replied, “”Call it anything you damn like.”” – ASIN: 0812983866 | ISBN13: 9780812983869 | ISBN-13: 978-0812983869
