Andy Borowitz almost died, but lived to tell this stranger-than-fiction tale. In his first-ever work of autobiography, the comedian and New York Times bestselling author tells how a freakish medical condition descended upon him one October afternoon and led him to the brink of death €“ in a New York hospital €œconsistently rated one of the ten best in the country.€ What happens when €œone of the funniest people in America€ (CBS News Sunday Morning) comes face to face with his own mortality? An Unexpected Twist is in equal parts harrowing and hilarious €“ and a moving affirmation of what it means to be alive.
