"I just finished reading the most amazing book. Running with Scissors is hilarious, freaky-deaky, berserk, controlled, transcendent, touching, affectionate, vengeful, all-embracing....It makes a good run at blowing every other [memoir] out of the water." --Carolyn See, The Washington Post
"Funny and rich with child's eye details of adults who have gone off the rails." --The New York Times Book Review
"It is as funny as it is twisted." --GQ
"A hilarious and horrifying memoir." --Los Angeles Times
"Harrowing and hilarious. I haven't laughed this much since David Sedaris's last book." --Haven Kimmel, author of A Girl Named Zippy
"Running with Scissors is a cut above...compelling...the book celebrates Burroughs' resilient, upbeat spirit, which helps him surmount one of the weirder childhoods on record." --USA Today
"The anecdotes can be so flippant, and so insanely funny (quite literally), that the effect is that of a William Burroughs situation comedy." --The New York Times
"Burroughs defies the 'woe is me' stigma of modern memoir with a raucous recounting of his loony teenage years." --Entertainment Weekly
"I was reminded of Roald Dahl's Boy and A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. Augusten Burroughs has produced a memoir that's funny and sharp but also humane, as charming as it is revealing." --Kurt Andersen, author of Turn of the Century
"A memoir that is both horrifying and mordantly funny." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Burroughs has memorialized his bizarre childhood showing off a dark wit that often rivals that 0of David Sedaris--while telling a true story that would make even Sedaris cringe." --New York Magazine
"Burroughs tempers the pathos with sharp riotous humor... Edgier, but reminiscent of Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, this is a survival story readers won't forget." --Booklist

Descripción Paperback. Condición: New. An Entertainment Weekly Top Ten Book of 2002. The true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her (nut case?) psychiatrist, who just happened to bear a striking resemblance to Santa Claus? and whose 'family' included a pedophile in-residence in the backyard shed. Dysfunctional doesn't really begin to describe this abhorrent upbringing. It's of great credit to the author's will to survive (a ton of valium was always on hand, like a surrogate TV) that this memoir even exists. 'Harrowing' and 'hilarious' kind of collide in mid-air - but, it's a read you might want to get out of your system sooner than later, through no fault of your own. 315p.
