A Wolf at the Table by Augusten Burroughs

A Wolf at the Table by Augusten Burroughs

From the author: 'My father doesn't feature much in Running with Scissors. And one of the reasons for this is because he didn't feature much in my life. But there's another reason, too: Our relationship was so complicated, so dark, so confusing and so big, that to tell the story would require a book. So finally, upon the death of my father in 2005, I decided to tell the story I have been most afraid yet most compelled to tell.' A memoir with the magical quality of not just describing childhood but actually making the reader remember what it was like to be a child. This prequel to international hit Running With Scissors tells the story of Augusten's relationship with his tormented father: a man who sent his wife mad and saw his other son run away from home, prior to Augusten going into foster care. Harrowing, insightful and amusing by turns, this book contains all of the quirks his fans adore.

"Original and mordantly comic" -- Nick Rennison * Sunday Times *
"A hilarious, explicit and very camp celebration of the importance of not just surviving but surviving with star quality" -- Patrick Ness * Daily Telegraph *
