You Better Not Cry by Augusten Burroughs

You Better Not Cry by Augusten Burroughs

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELER about Christmases past and present from the #1 bestselling author of Running with Scissors, Dry, and A Wolf at the Table

At eight years old, Augusten Burroughs profoundly misunderstood the meaning of Christmas. Now proving himself once more a master of making tragedy funny (The Miami Herald), he shows how the holidays can bring out the worst in us and sometimes, just sometimes, the very best. From the author described in USA Today as one of the most compelling and screamingly funny voices of the new century comes a book about surviving the holiday we love to hate, and hate to love.

AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS is the New York Times bestselling author of Possible Side Effects, Magical Thinking, Dry, Running with Scissors, and Sellevision. He lives in New York City and Amherst, Massachussetts.

Performer/poet PATTI SMITH and daughter Jesse Smith collaborated with songwriter Michael Campbell in their response to A Wolf at the Table. The song, The Only Time, is an effort to capture the mood of the memoir by Augusten Burroughs, while maintaining a hopeful undercurrent.

INGRID MICHAELSON's self-released album of quirky, pop gems, Girls and Boys, gained attention when her songs including, The Way I Am, were featured on the show, Grey's Anatomy. With her music now a fixture on the Billboard and iTunes charts, Ingrid continues to have unprecedented success as a do-it-yourself artist.

Named after Jack London's 1904 novel, Los Angeles' SEA WOLF is the nom de plume for singer/songwriter Alex Brown Church and the orchestral indie rock he creates. His debut LP, Leaves In The River, was released last year on Dangerbird Records to critical acclaim. Touring the country with label mates Silversun Pickups and veterans Nada Surf, the band made its national television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Although she is currently spending a dysfunctional amount of time touring the world with her indie pop band, TEGAN QUIN from Tegan and Sara, is a bookworm who lives and writes songs in Vancouver, Canada. His Love was recorded in her home studio/library.
