NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *;';Driving, wild and hilarious' (The Washington Post), here is the incredible ';memoir' of the actor, gambler, raconteur, and Saturday Night Live veteran.Don't miss Norm's new Netflix special, Hitler's Dog, Gossip & Treachery! 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.'Praise for Based on a True Story';Dostoyevsky by way of 30 Rockefeller Center . . . the best new book I've read this year or last.'The Wall Street Journal ';This book is absurd fiction. . . . Scathing and funny.'The New York Times ';Hilarious and filled with turns of phrase and hidden beauty like only a collection of Norm Macdonald stories could be.'Esquire ';Raucous . . . a hilarious, innovative work.'A.V. Club ';Part personal history and part meta riff on celebrity memoirs, the book, it quickly becomes clear, is also just partly true (and all hilarious).'Vulture ';Very, very, very funny! Thanks, Norm, for letting me be part of this Booker Prizeforliteraturequality effort.'David Letterman ';Norm is brilliant and thoughtful and there is sensitivity and creative insight in his observations and stories. A lot of comics over the years have been compared to Mark Twain, but I think Norm is the only one who actually matches the guy in terms of his voice and ability. I seriously f**king love Norm Macdonald. Please buy his book. He probably needs the cash. He's really bad with money.'Louis C.K., from the foreword ';Norm is one of my all-time favorites, and this book was such a great read I forgot how lonely I was for a while.'Amy Schumer ';I always thought Normie's stand-up was the funniest thing there was. But this book gives it a run for its money.'Adam Sandler ';Norm is one of the greatest stand-up comics who's ever workeda totally original voice. His sense of the ridiculous and his use of juxtaposition in his writing make him a comic's comic. We all love Norm.'Roseanne Barr ';Norm Macdonald makes me laugh my ass off. Who is funnier than Norm Macdonald? Nobody.'Judd Apatow ';Norm Macdonald is more than a triple threathe's a septuple threat. He is smart, funny, wry, rakish, polite, rakish . . . no, wait. He is polite, insightful, and . . . aaaaah . . . warm. No. He's exciting. Yeah. Exciting! You never know what he'll do. Okay, then make that unpredictable. Add that up. He's amazing.'Alec Baldwin ';Norm is a double threat. His material and timing are both top-notch, which is unheard of. He is one of my favorites, both on- and off-stage.'Dave Attell ';Letterman said it best: There is no one funnier than Norm Macdonald.'Rob Schneider
