In the book Norm implies he was raped as a child. He says he "woke up" five years after it happened and cannot remember any of that time. It's chilling because he's not joking. If you're a big fan you've probably always known there had to be a reason Norm is Norm.

I'm halfway through and it's good, it's funny. For all the /lit/ snobs, by the way, Norm is a legit reader, especially Russians
