He lives in New York City and Amherst, Massachusetts..
His work has been published in more than twenty-five countries.
About the Author: Augusten Burroughs is the New York Times bestselling author of Possible Side Effects, Magical Thinking, Dry, Running with Scissors, and Sellevision.
It\'s a Memoir of stunning psychological cruelty and the redemptive power of hope.
Though harrowing and brutal, A Wolf at the Table will ultimately leave you buoyed with the profound joy of simply being alive.
Told with scorching honesty and penetrating insight, it is a story for anyone who has ever longed for unconditional love from a parent.
With A Wolf at the Table, Augusten Burroughs makes a quantum leap into untapped emotional terrain: the radical pendulum swing between love and hate, the unspeakably terrifying relationship between Father and son.
This Father was distant, aloof, uninterested...
And then the "games" began.
The kind of Father he wanted didn\'t exist for him.
Betrayal after shocking betrayal ensued, and Augusten\'s childhood was over.
Something dark and secretive that could not be named.
As Augusten grew older, something sinister within his Father began to unfurl.
And sometimes...
I wasn\'t altogether sure about one thing: was it just a dream?"When Augusten Burroughs was small, his Father was a shadowy presence in his life: a form on the stairs, a cough from the basement, a silent figure smoking a cigarette in the dark.
But unlike most dreams, the memory of this one never left me.
It was the only thing we\'d ever done together as Father and son, and I promised not to tell.
He buried it and told me I must never tell.
