A Wolf at the Table by Augusten Burroughs
Tells the story of the author's relationship with his tormented father: a man who sent his wife mad and saw his other son run away from home, prior to the author going into foster care.
So touching and wonderfully written that anyone else with "a no misery memoir" rule should make an exception * London Lite *
There is a depth here that moves his prose to another levelHe has written a chilling, dark and deeply unsettling book that is, nonetheless, compulsive reading * Attitude *
A hauntingly well-crafted account of his difficult relationship with his father * Irish Sunday Independent *
Burroughs's gift is to look into the lion's mouth and find sweetness * Fay Weldon *
