Description

With unconventional wit and a wonderfully weird way of looking at things, Augusten Burroughs chronicles his life on the edge after leaving his deeply eccentric foster family. Dry opens in Manhattan, where Augusten has established a life for himself as a high-paid advertising hotshot. But his past haunts him still as he tries to create a grown-up life. Dry is at times howlingly funny, devastatingly moving, and, in the end, uplifting. It further establishes Burroughs as one of the most original authors writing today.

Reviews

Library Journal (starred review) on Possible Side Effects...
An absolutely brilliant writer as well as a gifted narrator, Burroughs easily draws listeners into descriptions of the everyday.
