Lopsided How Having Breast Cancer Can Be Really Distracting Hardback - 2008
by Meredith Norton
A hilarious and wickedlyirreverent look at life withcancer
Lopsided is not your ordinary cancer memoir.Meredith Norton chronicles every step of her experience,starting with her bizarre symptoms while livingin Paris to moving back home to California and livingwith her compulsive parents and their five televisionsets. Irreverent and incredibly funny, Norton railsagainst self-pity and victimhood and rants about theinnumerable copies of Lance Armstrong's cancer survivalbook pressed on her by well-meaning family andfriends.
Alongside the harrowing portrait of her treatments,Norton offers equally amusing memories fromher offbeat life. We see her childhood time during asomewhat racist ski trip, a family reunion at a Floridaalligator farm, and her life in a tree house with aneighbor, who, despite being vegan, hates mice enoughto taxidermy them into miniature versions of racecardrivers, Jesus, a UPS delivery man, and Sally JesseRaphael.
Like David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs,Norton's razor-sharp wit is at once riotous and excruciating.Lopsided is the remarkable debut of a masterfulhumorist.
