whose mother a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton gave him away to be raised by her unorthodox psychiatrist who bore a striking resemblance to Santa Claus So at the age of twelve Burroughs found himself amidst Victorian squalor living with the doctor s bizarre family and befriending a pedophile who resided in the backyard shed The story of an outlaw childhood where rules were unheard of and the Christmas tree stayed up all year-round where Valium was consumed like candy and if things got dull an electroshock therapy machine could provide entertainment The funny harrowing and bestselling account of an ordinary boy s survival under the most extraordinary circumstances R Running with Scissors Acknowledgments R / Gratitude doesn t begin to describe it Jennifer Enderlin Christopher Schelling John Murphy Gregg Sullivan Kim Cardascia Michael Storrings and everyone at St Martin s Press Thank you Lawrence David Suzanne Finnamore Robert Rodi Bret Easton Ellis Jon Pepoon Lee Lodes Jeff Soares Kevin Weidenbacher Lynda Pearson Lona Walburn Lori Greenburg John DePretis and Sheila Cobb I would also like to express my appreciation to my mother and father for no matter how inadvertently giving me such a memorable childhood Additionally I would like to thank the real-life members of the family portrayed in this book for taking me into their home and accepting me as one of their own I recognize that their memories of the events described in this book are different than my own They are each fine decent and hard-working people The book was not intended to hurt the family Both my publisher and I regret any unintentional harm resulting from the publishing and marketing of Running with Scissors Most of all I would like to thank my brother for demonstrating by example the importance of being wholly unique There is a passage early in Augusten Burroughss harrowing and highly entertaining memoir Running with Scissors that speaks volumes about the author While going to the garbage dump with his father young Augusten spots a chipped glass-top coffee table that he longs to bring home I knew I could hide the chip by fanning a display of magazines on the surface like in a doctors office he writes And it certainly wouldnt be dirty after I polished it with Windex for three hours There were certainly numerous chips in the childhood Burroughs describes an alcoholic father an unstable mother who gives him up for adoption to her therapist and an adolescence spent as part of the therapists eccentric extended family gobbling prescription meds and fooling around with both an old electroshock machine and a pedophile who lives in a shed out back But just as he dreamed of doing with that old table Burroughs employs a vigorous program of decoration and fervent polishing to a life that many would have simply thrown in a landfill Despite her abandonment he never gives up on his increasingly unbalanced mother And rather than despair about his lot he glamorizes it planning a beauty empire and performing an a capella version of You Light Up My Life at a local mental ward Burroughss perspective achieves a crucial balance for a memoir emotional but not self-involved observant but not clinical funny but not deliberately comic And its ultimately a feel-good story as he steers through a challenging childhood theres always a sense that Burroughss survivor mentality will guide him through and that the coffee table will be salvaged after all --John Moe Best Women's Erotica 2009 Cleis Press Best Women s Erotica 2009 is erotica by women for women
