Non-Fiction Memoir
Running with Scissors is the true story of a boy whose
mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away
to be raised by her psychiatrist, a dead-ringer for Santa
and a lunatic in the bargain. Suddenly, at age twelve,
Augusten Burroughs found himself living in a dilapidated
Victorian in perfect squalor. The doctor's bizarre family, a
few patients, and a pedophile living in the backyard shed
completed the tableau. Here, there were no rules, there was
no school. The Christmas tree stayed up until summer, and
Valium was eaten like Pez. And when things got dull, there
was always the vintage electroshock therapy machine under
the stairs....
