This Is How

"Dry is more than a heartbreaking tale; it's a heroic one. As with its predecessor, we finish the book amazed not only that Burroughs can write so brilliantly, but that he's even alive."
-- People on Dry

"Bawdy, outrageous, often hilarious...the anecdotes in Running with Scissors can be so flippant, and so insanely funny (quite literally), that the effect is that of a William Burroughs situation comedy."
- Janet Maslin, The New York Times on Running with Scissors

“..consumed with tension...[a] wrenching, edifying journey...with the added benefit of being really entertaining."
- The New York Times Book Review on Dry

“Even fans of his previous work will be shocked by this story, the first chapter of a remarkable life."
--PARADE on A Wolf At The Table

"The memoir gets a bad rap… So ignore the genre's stigma, and take a chance on Augusten Burroughs' outrageously amusing recounting of his teenage years...he can consider this a fan letter. Grade A"—Entertainment Weekly on Running with Scissors

“…the most compelling aspect of Wolf is the way that Burroughs has left behind the campy humor of Running with Scissors. This is a serious book by a grown-up writer."
--USA TODAY on A Wolf At The Table

“Dry is a deeper book than Scissors, revealing Burroughs to be a more accomplished writer, creating scenes of real power..."
--USA TODAY on Dry

"Running with Scissors is testament to the resilience of the human spirit.”
