What is Ham: Slices of a Life: Essays and Stories about?

For fans of David Sedaris and Chelsea Handler, these stories and essays about friendship, celebrity, growing up and getting sober will have you laughing and crying in equal measure. With a wry style that evokes comparisons to Carrie Fisher, David Rakoff, and Steve Martin, Sam Harris proves that he is a natural humorist. Even The New York Times , in a review of one of his musical performances, called his stories New Yorker -worthy. Brilliantly written, these sixteen stories span Harriss life from growing up gay in the buckle of Americas Bible belt to performing on Oprahs first show after 9/11. In I Feel, You Feel he opens for Aretha Franklin during a blizzard. Promises is a front-row account of Liza Minnellis infamous wedding to the man whose name shall go unmentioned. In the title story, Ham, he describes how he was upstaged by a young child actor, unknowingly addicted to the spotlight. Taking on issues as diverse as addiction, fame, and parenting with his hilarious and deeply human voice, Harriss entertaining tales trace an arc of personal triumph that is universally accessible and inspiring.
