“Hilarious and filled with turns of phrase and hidden beauty like only a collection of Norm Macdonald stories could be.”

—Esquire

“This book is absurd fiction. . . . Scathing and funny.” —The New York Times

I have read Based on a True Story, and I believe it to be largely bullshit, but it is very, very, very funny! Thanks, Norm, for letting me be part of this Booker Prize–for–literature–quality effort.”

—David Letterman
