 # 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The #1 bestseller, 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 unorthodox psychiatrist who bore a striking resemblance to Santa Claus.
[Running with Scissors] tends to have you clutching your stomach with laughter, while covering your mouth in horror and utter disbelief...In the hands of many writers this could be a turgid survivor story - one part Oprah, one part Jerry Spinger.
Running's defiantly cagey coming-of-age story seems too good to be true, both in the page-by-page outrageousness of every episode and in the vividness with which Burroughs remembers every overripe detail.

I was prompted to read "Running With Scissors" after enjoying Augusten Burroughs' "Dry" which I read upon recommendation after enjoying Rikki Lee Travolta's "My Fractured Life." I am not sorry for the recommendation.
"Running With Scissors" actually has more similarity to "My Fractured Life" than "Dry" and is on that same level of grand surreal reality that is just too weird to be true yet somehow it.
RUNNING WITH SCISSORS begins with a scene in which seven-year-old Augusten watches as his mother, an insane housewife dedicated to writing confessional poetry, gets ready for a reading.

Running with Scissors: A Memoir by Augusten Burroughs
Fans of Augusten Burroughs's darkly funny memoir Running with Scissors were left wondering at the end of that book what would become of young Augusten after his squalid and fascinating childhood ended.
After reading his RUNNING WITH SCISSORS and accepting the fact that it was truly a memoir (ie, he really DID have that childhood!), most of us who loved that book couldn't wait to see if he would be able to maintain his particular level of genius dry humor.

Many of today's memoirs have all the originality of a Harlequin regency romance as penned by Barbara Cartland: the self-absorbed parents with booze/adultery/emotional frostiness issues, the isolation of school, the ill-chosen partner.
Augusten Burroughs' memoir, Running With Scissors, does not evoke that response.
But the true source of Running With Scissors' appeal stems from Burroughs' ability to bring the 1970s alive.

Augusten Burroughs's 2000 novel, Sellevision, was well-received, but his 2002 memoir, Running With Scissors, garnered the kind of critical applause and stratospheric sales that most writers pursue like a mirage.
We discuss his unexpected success, the controversies surrounding the memoir genre, how literary fame is "fourth tier," his devotion to Elizabeth Berg, his affinity for Greek families, his overlooked similarities to JT LeRoy, and his Thanksgiving with Bret Easton Ellis.
I read parts of Running With Scissors over the phone, then my mom borrowed it, and my dad borrowed it, but when they found out that Pighead was Greek, they cracked up.

Overall, Running with Scissors is well-executed and actually humorous, but the material is a day late and a dollar short.
