A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father

A WOLF AT THE TABLE: A MEMOIR OF MY FATHER: Augusten Burroughs: St. Martin's Press: Biography: 256 pages.

Another memoir from the author of Running with Scissors. I have really enjoyed all of Burroughs' books, he has a way of writing that is very powerful, and somehow unemotional in the telling of the often horrific events of his childhood. This story focuses on his father who was mostly left out of his other books. His father is portrayed as a strangely unemotional, uncaring and possibly sociopathic person who portrayed one normal face to the world, and another to his wife and child. If you enjoyed his other memoirs you should definitely read this one, you will not be disappointed.
