It begins with a Tang Instant-Breakfast Drink television
commercial: "Yes, you, Augusten. You were great. We want you." I can
now trace my manic adult tendencies to this moment. It was
the first time I felt deeply thrilled about something just
a fraction of an instant after being completely crushed. I
believe those three words "We want you" were enough to
cause my brain to rewire itself, and from then on, I would
require more than other people....- from Magical
Thinking's "Commercial Break" A contest of wills with a deranged cleaning lady. The
execution of a rodent carried out with military precision
and utter horror. Telemarketing revenge. A different kind
of "roof work." Dating an undertaker who shows up in a
minivan. This is the fabric of Augusten Burroughs's life: a
collection of true stories that are universal in their
appeal yet unabashedly intimate, stories that shine a
flashlight into both dark and hilarious places. With
Magical Thinking, Augusten Burroughs goes where other
memoirists fear to tread.
