Beast by James Capuano

The funniest book about cancer you will ever read. Capuano manages to humanize his harrowing journey without bathos and yet I still walked away crying, with tears of sadness and laughter. No mean trick. . A memoir both tender and hard for the healthy and the sick.
- David Duchovny

Nothing about cancer is funny - so why did I laugh so hard at James Capuano's personal story about his struggles with Stage 4 colon cancer? Simply put: because it's hilarious. Never one to run away from the truth, his in-your-face account tells it like it is, providing valuable insight into how this disease affects not only the body and the mind, but also family and friends. . a surprisingly life-affirming tale.
- Susan Sarandon

James Capuano served as Senior Vice President for the Markets Division at Thomson Reuters, the global news and information company, and lived in Manhattan with his wife Dana and their four children. Diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer during the summer of 2007, he finally succumbed to the disease on November 3rd, 2014, after a hard-fought seven year battle.
