Ideal HEARD ON AN EMPTY STOMACH

Jim Norton is normally a pervert in the truest feeling of the word. The physical exact carbon copy of a high slug, he pays top dollar for massages with content endings, and is fascinated by shitty sitcoms and extra fat girls. He’s also, sometimes, racially offensive and morally repugnant. He spares no one in his comedy — least of all himself.

Now, within this outrageous, blisteringly funny collection of essays, Norton tackles the topics that are near and dear to his heart: From public events just like the renowned Voyeur Bus event around the Opie and Anthony Show, which culminated in all involved being taken up to jail, or searching for a hug from his childhood idol Gene Simmons, to deeply private moments, including a teenage Jim’s embarrassing poetry-writing efforts while in rehab, his inexpensive sexual knowledge with an unwashed MILF (Monolith Let me Ignore), and becoming caught masturbating in the backseat while his friend was traveling. His stories are raw, searingly honest within their attention to detail, and most of all, hilarious.
