An Oprah Book of the Summer, 2008

“Blackly humorous debut memoir about surviving cancer....Norton is one plucky dame, and she displays a sharp eye for the human condition. Her challenging, awkward encounters – with doctors, nurses, even with well-meaning but clueless sympathizers – all have the ring of truth....Norton calls herself a storyteller, and the tale she has crafted from a life-altering event is indeed hard to put down.” —Kirkus Reviews

Lopsided is not your ordinary cancer memoir. 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.

About the Author: MEREDITH NORTON has traveled extensively and resided for several years in Europe. She lives with her husband and son in Sonoma County, California.
