In 'Running with Scissors', Augusten Burroughs narrates his peculiar childhood and adolescence. Son of an aspiring poet and a distant university professor, Augusten sees his world radically change when his parents separate and his mother falls in love with another woman. He ends up living in the house of Dr. Finch, a psychiatrist with unconventional methods, where he lives with an extensive and dysfunctional family. In this chaotic and taboo-free environment, Augusten grows up, discovers love and sex, and enters adulthood. This autobiography, with a tone between grotesque and funny, offers a unique look at the life of a young man in search of his identity.
Augusten Xon Burroughs is an American writer best known for his New York Times bestselling memoir Running with Scissors (2002).
