Augusten Burroughs' New Book Magical Thinking Garnering Rave Reviews
One of America's Most Gifted Writers Releases New Collection of Essays

Called a 'gifted satirist' by the Library Journal and compared to David Sedaris and David Rakoff by Publishers Weekly, Augusten Burroughs is an incredibly talented author and an acclaimed humorist. His new collection of short essays touch on topics as varied as steroid use by gay men and the murder of a mouse in his bathtub. Witty, sometimes cutting and always hilarious, Augusten Burroughs' new book Magical Thinking is a great follow up to his bestsellers Running with Scissors and Dry.

'Like fellow essayists David Sedaris and Jonathan Ames, Burroughs possesses a mindset best described as superlatively disturbed. Following his two unnerving bestsellers, Running with Scissors (2002) and Dry (2003), the self-described "alcoholic, high-school dropout raised in a cult by a crazy psychiatrist" unleashes a brand-new collection of deliciously lurid true tales.'
