Synopsis
Bestselling memoirist Augusten Burroughs tackles the trauma and chaos of growing up with an emotionally abusive father in A WOLF AT THE TABLE--those expecting Burroughs glib wit might be surprised by the dark tone, but those who relish his emotional insights and sensitivity will find disturbing truths.

It seems unlikely that this disturbing memoir from Augusten Burroughs will achieve the popularity of his prior efforts, DRY and RUNNING WITH SCISSORS, but sales are not always the best definition of a book's success. Burroughs elevates his writing to a higher level by delving deeper than ever before into his own psyche and his twisted, though definitive, relationship with his father. Burroughs's abusive father was a philosophy professor whose complex intellectual obsessions isolated him from other people, particularly his own family. While at first he was merely a brooding peripheral presence in the life of young Augusten, he gradually begins to enact a torrent of abuse, both physical and psychological. As he brutally depicts this despicable behavior, Burroughs eventually determines that his father simply did not want him, but every dark and magnificent sentence of the book stands as a testament to his cathartic recovery.
