Synopsis

With Augusten's unique and singular observations and his own unabashed way of detailing both the horrific and the humorous, Lust & Wonder is a hilariously frank memoir that his legions of fans have been waiting for. His story began in Running with Scissors, endured through Dry, and continues with this memoir, the capstone to the life of Augusten Burroughs. Funny, sweet, alarming, and ultimately, moving and tender, Lust & Wonder is an experience of a book that will resonate with anyone who has loved and lost and loved again.

About this title

Review:

All of the wisdom he dispenses in his new book-delivered with the dark, acidic humor we've come to expect-is certainly well-earned. "The Boston Globe on This is How"

"Dry" is more than a heartbreaking tale; it's a heroic one. As with its predecessor, we finish the book amazed not only that Burroughs can write so brilliantly, but that he's even alive. "People on Dry"

It makes a good run at blowing every other [memoir] out of the water. "Carolyn See, The Washington Post on Running with Scissors"

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