Based On A True Story by Norm Macdonald
Not a Memoir
The book is a memoir that blends fact with fiction, offering a comedic and surreal account of the life of a well-known comedian and former "Saturday Night Live" cast member. It delves into his upbringing in Canada, his rise to fame, and his experiences in the world of comedy, all while playing fast and loose with the truth. The narrative is filled with the author's trademark wit and deadpan humor, as he recounts stories of gambling, the pitfalls of celebrity, and his own unique perspective on life, often questioning the nature of storytelling and the reliability of memory itself.
