A Wolf At the Table
An instant New york Times bestseller, it's Augusten's most personal and unexpected memoir yet.
"A searing, emotional portrait of a son who wants nothing more than the love his father will not grant him, Burroughs's latest memoir (after 2004's Dry) is indeed powerful."
- Publisher's Weekly
Possible Side Effects
This book is approved for consumption by those seeking pleasure, escape, amusement, enlightenment, or general distraction. This book is not approved to treat disorders such as Ebay addiction or incessant blind dating.
"(H)ilarious, wildly fanciful reminiscences...less spiky than Magical Thinking. It's also more inviting...he makes good, snarky company even with nothing serious in mind...Mr. Burroughs does get away with stunts that would sink more timid writers."
- The New York Times
Magical Thinking
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Running with Scissors and Dry comes Augusten Burroughs' most eagerly-anticipated collection yet: true stories that give voice to the thoughts we all have but dare not mention.
Augusten Burroughs shows why he is the memoirist-of-the-moment with his harrowing and laugh-out-loud new essay collection, Magical Thinking."
- Vanity Fair
Dry
Dry was an instant New York Times bestseller. In paperback, it remained on the bestseller list for over six consecutive months.
"Dry is more than a heartbreaking tale; it's a heroic one. As with its predecessor, we finish the book amazed not only that Burroughs can write so brilliantly, but that he's even alive."
- People
Running with Scissors
Running with Scissors is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her psychiatrist, a dead-ringer for Santa and a lunatic in the bargain.
"Bawdy, outrageous, often hilarious...the anecdotes in Running with Scissors can be so flippant, and so insanely funny (quite literally), that the effect is that of a William Burroughs situation comedy."
- Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Sellevision
Darkly funny and gleefully mean-spirited, Sellevision explores greed, obsession and third tier celebrity, in the world of a fictional home shopping network.
"A relentless spoof...endlessly loopy... (a) kaleidoscope of gleefully salacious intrigue."
- Publisher's Weekly
