Augusten Burroughs

Flyleaf presents Augusten Burroughs at The ArtsCenter to discuss and sign his new book: This Is How  From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Running With Scissors comes a groundbreaking book that explores how to survive the "un-survivable" and will challenge your notion of self-help books.  To say that Augusten Burroughs has lived an unusual life is an understatement.  From having no formal education past third grade and being raised by his mother’s psychiatrist in the seventies to enjoying one of the most successful advertising careers of the eighties to experiencing a spectacular downfall and rehab stint in the nineties to having a number one bestselling writing career in the new millennium, Burroughs has faced humiliation, transformation and everything in between.  Burroughs is the author of a number of books, including Running with Scissors, Dry, Possible Side Effects, A Wolf at the Table and Sellevision and his writing has appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers around the world including The New York Times and New York Magazine. In 2005 Entertainment Weekly named him one of “The 25 Funniest People in America.” He resides in New York City and Western Massachusetts. http://www.flyleafbooks.com/augusten
