Synopsis
When his dysfunctional family sent Augusten Burroughs away to be raised in the home of his mother's therapist, he became part of an even more dysfunctional and unusual family dynamic. In this bestseller, which has become a classic of the wackier side of memoir literature, Burroughs doesn't flinch at any grotesquerie or atrocity, recording it all--no matter how bizarre--with relish and with a delightfully twisted sense of humor.

When his dysfunctional family sent this memoirist into the home of his therapist, he became part of an even more dysfunctional and unusual family dynamic. This is his story.

Publisher's Note
The author of Sellevision describes his bizarre coming-of-age years after his adoption by his mother's psychiatrist, during which he witnessed such misadventures as a fake suicide attempt, a pedophile's life in a barn, and front-lawn family/patient sleepovers. Reissue. Read by the author.

Industry Reviews
"The events of five years in the life of Augusten Burroughs, as recounted in a memoir that is both horrifying and mordantly funny, are so unbelievable, they make even the most outrageous episode of 'The Jerry Springer Show' seem rational by comparison. RUNNING WITH SCISSORS just might be the most aptly titled book ever written."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - David Wiegand (07/14/2002)

"[Burroughs's] 'family' are quite literally crazy, and worth reading about, if for nothing more than a critique of pop psychology. However, buried beneath layers of bludgeoning metaphors and references to obscure 1970s television personalities, are the signs of a keen observe of the domestic wildlife park."
Times Literary Supplement - Marlowe Fawcett (05/02/2003)
