Jim Norton is a pervert
in the truest sense of the word. The physical equivalent of a
tall slug, he pays top dollar for massages with happy endings and
is fascinated by shitty sitcoms and fat girls. He is also, at
times, racially offensive and morally repugnant. He spares no one
in his comedy -- least of all himself.
Now, in this outrageous, blisteringly funny collection of
essays, Norton tackles the topics that are near and dear to his
heart: from public events like the legendary Voyeur Bus incident on
the "Opie and Anthony Show, " which culminated in all involved
being taken to jail, or seeking a hug from his childhood idol Gene
Simmons, to deeply private moments, including a teenage Jim's
embarrassing poetry-writing attempts while in rehab, and his
inexpensive sexual experience with an unwashed MILF (a Monolith I'd
Like to Forget). His stories are raw, searingly honest in their
attention to detail, and most of all, hilarious.
Filled with personal photos and nearly fifty candid and
uncompromising essays, "Happy Endings" is one of a kind...and
probably best read on an empty stomach.
