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.
