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.?
