Suggestion for Further Laughs

This article reminds me of the objections that the comedian, Norm MacDonald, has recently made over the title that was chosen for his new book, "Based on a True Story." The publisher calls it a "memoir," but MacDonald insists that it is actually a novel and--in the midst of currently reading it myself--I can see why he would see the book as a fictional work (though it does contain a lot of autobiographical material). It is the most unique written work I have ever read in any genre, and it is hilarious for my tastes, if a good laugh is called for in the Age of Trump.
