Augusten Burroughs
Making unforgettable books out of his own unbelievable, occasionally ugly life is the hallmark of #1 New York Times bestselling humorist and memoirist Augusten Burroughs. In his memoirs Running with Scissors, Dry, Possible Side Effects, and Magical Thinking, Burroughs has bared all about his bizarre and troubled childhood and adolescence, his homosexuality, his near-fatal struggle with alcoholism and more—becoming hailed as one of America’s funniest writers in the process. Burroughs took his work in a decidedly darker direction in A Wolf at the Table, a memoir recounting his abuse at the hands of his father. Also the author of the novel Sellevision, Burroughs (born Christopher Robison) divides his time between Western Massachusetts and New York City.
