Opis: Running With Scissors. Krass, englische Ausgabe - Augusten Burroughs

The author describes his bizarre coming-of-age years after his adoption by his mother's psychiatrist, during which he witnessed such misadventures as a fake suicide attempt and front-lawn family/patient sleepovers. "I just finished reading the most amazing book. Running with Scissors is hilarious, freaky-deaky, berserk, controlled, transcendent, touching, affectionate, vengeful, all-embracing....It makes a good run at blowing every other [memoir] out of the water." --Carolyn See, "The Washington Post"

"Funny and rich with child's eye details of adults who have gone off the rails." --"The New York Times Book Review"

"It is as funny as it is twisted." --"GQ"

"A hilarious and horrifying memoir." --"Los Angeles Times"

"Harrowing and hilarious. I haven't laughed this much since David Sedaris's last book." --Haven Kimmel, author of "A Girl Named Zippy"

""Running with Scissors" is a cut above...compelling...the book celebrates Burroughs' resilient, upbeat spirit, which helps him surmount one of the weirder childhoods on record." --"USA Today"

"The anecdotes can be so flippant, and so insanely funny (quite literally), that the effect is that of a William Burroughs situation comedy." --"The New York Times"

"Burroughs defies the 'woe is me' stigma of modern memoir with a raucous recounting of his loony teenage years." --"Entertainment Weekly"

"I was reminded of Roald Dahl's "Boy "and "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius". Augusten Burroughs has produced a memoir that's funny and sharp but also humane, as charming as it is revealing." --Kurt Andersen, author of "Turn of the Century"

"A memoir that is both horrifying and mordantly funny." --"San Francisco Chronicle"

"Burroughs has memorialized his bizarre childhood showing off a dark wit that often rivals that 0of David Sedaris--while telling a true story that would make even Sedaris cringe." --"New York Magazine"

"Burroughs tempers the pathos with sharp riotous humor... Edgier, but reminiscent of Dave Eggers' "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius", this is a survival story readers won't forget." --"Booklist"
