Magical Thinking by Augusten Burroughs

A collection of autobiographical short stories, small vignettes of his life experiences, universal in their appeal yet unabashedly intimate and very funny. From the #1 bestselling author of Running with Scissors and Dry comes a contagiously funny, heartwarming, shocking, twisted, and absolutely magical collection. True stories that give voice to the thoughts we all have but dare not mention. It begins with a Tang Instant Breakfast Drink television commercial when Augusten was seven. Then there is the contest of wills with the deranged cleaning lady. The execution of a rodent carried out with military precision and utter horror. Telemarketing revenge. Dating an undertaker and much more. A collection of true stories that are universal in their appeal yet unabashedly intimate and very funny.

Burroughs's latest collection of true stories are outrageous, revealing.. you wouldn't want him as a godfather for your children but he is damn funny. * Observer *
Burroughs is a natural storyteller... as brilliantly witty, waspish and self-deprecating as ever. * Daily Mail *
