Here the author of Running with Scissors and Dry takes an intimate look at the driving forces in one man's life. Augusten Burroughs's singular approach to detailing both the horrific and the humorous continues with this memoir relating his search for true love, with the failures and successes that that has entailed. "Burroughs's wit isn't just the stoic, serviceable humor required of miserable-life memoirs. He has given us the gold standard of snark, rants and monologues a stand-up comic could envy. And the more awful were his travails, the more we voyeurs plopped down our money for a ticket."—NYTBR
