Publisher's Summary

Pregnant and dealing with a bout of morning sickness, Andrew Butters' soon-to-be mom handed the keys to her car to her husband and asked him to start it up. He cranked the engine and released the clutch, not realizing it was still in gear. The car lurched forward, striking her in the caboose and launching her into the ditch. Thus began her unborn son's adventures in misfortune.

Told in the style of a friend at the pub recounting a tall tale that begins, "Have I told you about the time...," Near Death by a Thousand Cuts takes you on a wild and crazy 48-year journey filled with accidents, injuries, and medical procedures guaranteed to make you simultaneously wince and laugh to the point of tears.

Entertaining memoir of misery

A series of entertaining and sometime cringe-worthy stories, very well narrated by the author himself.

I listened to this on a road trip, and the storytelling had me literally wincing in sympathy at some of the stories. Vivid imagery and inventive use of language helped to paint a picture of each anecdote.
