Editorial Reviews
Review
"Intense, sincere, and passionate, Burroughs offers a deeply felt, intimate portrait of the most disastrous period in his life. He holds nothing back, and in fully giving voice to his emotions, he makes each moment immediate for the listener." - "AudioFile"
""
"In audiobook form, Burroughs's memoir is an unforgettable experience that will resonate with many." - "Library Journal," Starred Review
..".There are books that were born for bells and whistles, and Augusten Burrough's "Wolf at the Table "is one. This fifth memoir of abuse and excess is read, bleated, rumbled and, at times, tearfully shouted by the author himself. The audio book includes sound effects and occasional instrumental music, and it breaks new ground by presenting four songs written expressly for the productions. There is one each from Patti Smith, Ingrid Michaelson, Sea Wolf and Tegan Quin." - "Washington Post"
""
"I felt that because this book is different than anything I have written before, it deserved a very unique, special treatment and production.""--"Augusten Burroughs on "A Wolf at the Table"
"I wanted an audiobook for the iPod generation - for people who love books but also love music and film. I wanted to bring the book to life as fully as possible.""--"Augusten Burroughs on "A Wolf at the Table" in "Publishers Weekly"
"Bestselling author Burroughs has written a brutally frank memoir about his father - his difficult, distant, miserable father - which he reads himself, effectively. Original music by Patti Smith, Sea Wolf, Ingrid Michaelson and Tegan Quin - composed for this audiobook - graces the final CD." - "Canada.com"
Past Praise for Augusten Burroughs:
"A flawless audio adaptation of his alternately riotous and heartbreaking memoir." --Publishers Weekly on Running with Scissors
"[Burroughs's] performance blends self-deprecating black humor with wise-cracking confidence. His natural (or hard-learned) wit and charm keep the listener rooting for his success." --AudioFile on Dry
"A serious departure . . . a moving depiction of fear and powerlessness from a child's point of view . . . compelling."--Deirdre Donahue, "USA"" Today"
"Shocking and terrifyingly thrilling, hooks the reader immediately."--"The Washington Post"
"An infinitely darker work than the author's previous takes on family dysfunction. Before his mother sent him to live with the loony shrink he immortalized in "Running With Scissors," Burroughs was a kid at the mercy of a father he believes was a sociopath. . . . Burrough's famous humor is mostly absent from this account, yet "Wolf "is not a grim book. How did he survive? . . . Writing--luckily for him and us--helped save him."--"People," A four-star "People "Pick
"With his new book, Burroughs breaks our hearts. Big time . . . "A Wolf at the Table "skillfully reminds us that the past never goes away. It's in our blood."--"Rocky Mountain News "(A)
"Whether your childhood was a fairy tale or a horror story, you'll be engrossed. . . . Even fans of previous work will be shocked by this story, the first chapter of a remarkable life."--"Parade
"
"A searing, emotional portrait of a son who wants nothing more than the love his father will not grant him, Burroughs's latest memoir is indeed powerful."--"Publishers Weekly," Starred Review
"As the pre-eminent writer of family dysfunction, Burroughs makes a convincing new case for the common heartbreak of distance between fathers and sons."--"St. Louis Post-Dispatch"
