But Based on a True Story is much more than a memoir, it's a hilarious, inspired, very meta imagining of his life, as told to a deeply disturbed ghost writer whose teetering sanity and bruised ego threaten to take down the entire narrative--and possibly the comic with it. Peppered with classic jokes and long mythologized Hollywood stories, this wildly adventurous, tense, totally original, and absurdly funny memoir turns the conventional "comic's memoir" on its head and leaves the reader delightfully off kilter"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Macdonald, Norm, $d 1963- 650 0 $a Comedians $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Actors $z Canada $v Biography. 941 $a 18 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716020613.0 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430021857.0 952 $l JNPC081 $d 20231227011940.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012845.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210020041.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909042748.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722053604.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110070319.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20190328021508.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107051149.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006101247.0 952 $l DTPD413 $d 20180713025455.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418121112.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20170128011125.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20170119010357.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20161103011152.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20161102012038.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160923010807.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=28957ECA815311E6B848AE91DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
