This is the story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of
grandeur) gave him away to be raised by her psychiatrist, a dead
ringer for Santa Claus and a certifiable lunatic into the bargain.
Suddenly at the age of 12, Augusten found himself living in a
dilapidated Victorian house in perfect squalor. The doctor's
bizarre family, a few patients and a paedophile living in the
garden shed completed the tableau. Here, there were no rules or
school. The Christmas tree stayed up until Summer and valium was
chomped down like sweets. When things got a bit slow, there was
always the ancient electroshock therapy machine under the stairs.
