Martin's Press this month. And who’s to say he doesn’t? Having survived a tumultuous childhood and an early career as an advertising copywriter while struggling with alcoholism, Burroughs—now a bestselling author—has indeed controlled his world. Magical Thinking is his fourth book in as many years, taking its place alongside Sellevision, his satirical novel algierian about cable television’s home shopping networks, and his memoirs, Running With Scissors and Dry. "I decided to stop being an alcoholic and become a New York Times bestselling author,” Burroughs algierian writes in his new book. “The gap between active alcoholic algierian advertising copywriter living in squalor and literary sensation with a scrapbook of rave reviews seemed large. A virtual canyon. Yet one day, I decided that's exactly what I would do.” And he did. Sellevision was well received and Running With Scissors and Dry both appeared on the New York Times bestseller list.
