Augusten Burrough's break-out bestseller RUNNING WITH SCISSORS reinvented and redefined the memoir. DRY proved that he could do it again. And now, with this collection, he sets a new standard for the personal essay. Whether he's describing a contest of wills and a deranged cleaning lady, the simultaneous thrill and self-disgust that comes from killing a rodent in your home, or the instinctive desire for fifteen minutes of fame in a Tang commercial, these stories give voice to thoughts we all have but dare not mention. What makes the collection so original is Augusten's sharp-eyed observations about things that are unique to him, but somehow universal to us all. MAGICAL THINKING is contagiously funny, heartwarming, shocking, twisted and absolutely magical. Praise for RUNNING WITH SCISSORS and DRY: 'A wickedly good writer - Chicago Sun-Times 'Equal parts hilarious and horrifying... scenes of real power' - USA Today 'Compulsively entertaining and tremendously provocative' - Publishers Weekly 'Heartbreaking... heroic... he can write so brilliantly' - People I've had a lot of unusual experiences' - Augusten Burroughs
