When Andrew was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2011, the first
thing he did was wipe the lube off his bottom and pull his pants
back up. The second thing he did was go home and hug his wife and
daughter. The third thing he did was log in and update his status
on his favourite social media. "Arsebook" is the
sometimes-touching, sometimes-crazy, always-graphic tale of the
short, unpleasant life and unmourned, undignified death of the
intestinal denizen who came to be known as Arsetribble, told
through the immortal storytelling medium of social media status
messages and comments. Between these covers lies everything you
ever wanted to know about colon cancer, but were too squeamish to
ask. There's also quite a few things you never wanted to know in
the first place.
