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 “consistently rated one of the ten best in the country.” What happens when “one of the funniest people in America” (CBS News Sunday Morning) comes face to face with his own mortality? Rife with deadpan observations and quirky characterizations of the medical staff that attended him, An Unexpected Twist offers humor on a number of levels, from breezy ruminations on life, death, and love to the simply scatological. In the end, it seems, his brush with death from the inside out proved an ambiguous blessing: the author suffered the accompanying discomfort, pain, and fear; readers reap the rewards of his levity aplenty.

Después de casi veinte años persiguiendo el olvido, una pelea en un bar revela a un nuevo y sobrio Mishka Shubaly capaz de correr largas distancias. Si correr es un sustituto de adicción, Shubaly cuenta, es "la adicción más deprimente, dolorosa y menos emocionante que he experimentado nunca" Los encantos de la prosa de Shubaly son numerosos: sus metáforas preferidas para la bebida revelan que este es su amor auténtico y no correspondido; su introspección tiene una profundidad similar a la de Thoreau y su exposición transforma al peatón en algo sublime. Además, Shubaly es un obstinado de corazón, y aún así es capaz de cambiar; es un nihilista, y aún así busca el sentido de las cosas; es una contradicción andante y la lectura de su libro una alegría.

Jonathan Rauch first drafted this book, years ago, strictly for himself, to make a personal record of his “life without a soul.” After hesitating for years to publish it, he was inspired to do so partly by the redemptive power of his own marriage, to a man—the marriage he thought he could never have. The author of five books (including Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America) and a National Magazine Award winner, Rauch has been writing for The Atlantic since 1989. A wrenching story that all of us, gay or not, can appreciate, Denial shows what it is like to be ‘different’ in a world that demands sameness.”. —Dale Carpenter, author of Flagrant Conduct: The Story of Lawrence v. Texas.
