TARGET CONSUMER. For readers of Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson; Calypso by David Sedaris; The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k by Mark Manson; Everything Happens for a Reason by Kate Bowler; Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So: A Memoir by Mark Vonnegut.. Readers who are dealing with illness themselves or through friends or family, but also a wider audience who will appreciate the novel's mix of dark humor and honest meditations on mortality.
>. What sets this apart from other illness memoirs is the voice-smart, ironic, deeply touching, and very funny.. Inspirational but never sappy. A fascinating tale of one man's quest for a cure, his struggle to hold onto his emotional health, and the redemptive effects of family and friends with an irresistible blend of self-lacerating humor.. Will appeal to those with first-hand experience of cancer and to those who enjoy a good tale of an everyman's triumph in the face of the odds.
