Augusten Burroughs: All I ever wanted was to be a little trust fund kid whose mother went to Yale, dining review and it's the dining review opposite of what I got. I never wanted to have peculiar experiences. I'm not one of those writers—you know how there are some writers who go around and do weird stuff so they can write about it ... P&W: Kind of like William dining review T. Vollmann who goes around the world; he really throws himself into things. AB: Right. They really look for the dwarves with the missing fingers. And I never wanted to be friends with the dwarves. I wanted a social life, you know? For some reason, I end up with all the dwarves. [Laughs.] P&W: Along those lines, Carrie Fisher has said a couple of times that she doesn't go on as many talk shows as she's asked to because she's afraid she'd become the Joanne Worley of her generation. |

Running With Scissors chronicled Burroughs’s childhood with his delusional mother who, when he f. gary gray was 12, sent him away to be raised by Dr. Finch, her unorthodox psychiatrist. Finch engaged f. gary gray in feces reading (“The shit is pointing out of the pot and up toward heaven, to f. gary gray God”) and allowed his grown adopted son to molest Burroughs. Dry found Burroughs living in Manhattan as a successful ad copywriter and a hopeless drunk whose friend, Pighead, was dying of AIDS. Both books showcased the author’s darkly comic literary talent. “Damaged but invigorated and fucking lucky," Burroughs describes himself in "Total Turnaround," an essay from Magical Thinking. Today Burroughs is sober, healthy, and living happily on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his boyfriend, Dennis. But his new book, featuring essays like "Cunnilingusville" and “I Dated an Undertaker,” proves that Burroughs still has plenty of twisted tales to tell. |
