From the bestselling author of" Running with Scissors" comes
"Dry"--the hilarious, moving, and no less bizarre account of what
happened next.
You may not know it, but you've met Augusten Burroughs. You've seen
him on the street, in bars, on the subway, at restaurants: a
twenty-something guy, nice suit, works in advertising. Regular.
Ordinary. But when the ordinary person had to drinks, Augusten was
circling the drain by having twelve; when the ordinary person went
home at midnight, Augusten never went home at all. Loud,
distracting ties, automated wake-up calls, and cologne on the
tongue could only hide so much for so long. At the request (well,
it wasn't really a request) of his employers, Augusten landed in
rehab, where his dreams of group therapy with Robert Downey, Jr.,
are immediately dashed by the grim reality of fluorescent lighting
and paper hospital slippers. But when Augusten is forced to examine
himself, something actually starts to click, and that's when he
finds himself in the worst trouble of all. Because when his thirty
days are up, he has to return to his same drunken Manhattan
life--and live it sober. What follows is a memoir that's as moving
as it is funny, as heartbreaking as it is real. "Dry" is the story
of love, loss, and Starbucks as a higher power.
