Based On A True Story: Not A Memoir Av Norm Macdonal

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.'
