Meredith Norton displays the razor-sharp wit of a masterful humorist as she chronicles her experience, from the first appearance of her bizarre symptoms while she was living in Paris to moving to California to live with her compulsive parents and their five television sets.
Along with hilarious and harrowing portrait of her treatments, she offers equally amusing memories of her offbeat life, rants about well-meaning family and friends, and rails against self-pity.
Funny, irreverent, and down-to-earth, Norton’s memoir brings a refreshing burst of attitude to a difficult experience she refuses to be intimidated by.
Meredith Norton (1970-2013) traveled extensively and resided for several years in Europe. She was a graduate of the Bentley School, Berkeley High School, and Columbia College in New York with an AB degree in film studies and creative writing.
Carrington MacDuffie is a voice actor and recording artist who has narrated over two hundred audiobooks, received numerous AudioFile Earphones Awards, and has been a frequent finalist for the Audie Award, including for her original audiobook, Many Things Invisible. Alongside her narration work, she has released a new album of original songs, Only an Angel.
Reviews
“By including touches of wit and sarcasm, Norton strikes a successful balance between light and heavy, keeping her audience consistently engaged.”
“Crackle[s] with heartfelt intensity and irreverence.”
“A truly elegant memoir…[on] the physical slapstick of battling this disease.”
“Her disarming frankness renders the book less a cancer survival guide and more a lovably unfiltered e-mail from a hilarious friend.”
“Blackly humorous…Norton is one plucky dame, and she displays a sharp eye for the human condition.”
“Will make readers stand up and cheer. Highly recommended.”
