Daniel Asa Rose -- LARRY'S KIDNEY: Being the True Story of How I Found Myself in China with My Black-Sheep Cousin and His Mail-Order Bride, Skirting the Law to Get Him a Transplant ... and Save His Life

Doesn't the world deserve a dark comedy about medical tourism?  Well, now it has one: "LARRY'S KIDNEY: Being the True Story of How I Found Myself in China with my Black-Sheep Cousin and his Mail-Order Bride, Skirting the Law to Get Him a Transplant ... and Save His Life." 

Larry Feldman desperately needed a kidney. After two years on dialysis, watching his life ebb away while waiting on a transplant list behind 74,000 other Americans, the gun-toting couch potato decided to risk everything and travel to China, the controversial kingdom of organ transplants. But Larry urgently needed his cousin Daniel's help ... even though they had been on the outs with each other for years. 

An unforgettable adventure filled with Red Guards who waltz at midnight and former enemies who prove more true than family, LARRY’S KIDNEY is being called "the funniest yet most heartwarming book of the year."
"One of the funniest, most touching and bizarre nonfiction books I've read.  A remarkably talented writer, a great book."  Boston Globe
