They Tore Out My Heart and Stomped That Sucker Flat, first published in 1982, has sold more than 100, 000 copies. Without skipping a beat, one of America’s favorite humorists, the late Lewis Grizzard, tells of the early stirrings of his wayward heart in the backseat of a ’57 Chevy and the ominous murmurings that led him at age thirty-five to major surgery and the real answer to his question, ‚How much is this going to hurt?‘ In the process, he discovers all the ways a heart can break. Young love. Three marriages. His father’s death. And why his entire future suddenly depended on a little pig. He tells the truth—the whole truth—the kind that has readers laughing through their tears. United Press International said, ‚It makes you feel good to know a person can face the tubes, wires, knives, and needles of major heart surgery and make you laugh about it—hilarious!‘
