Augusten Burroughs

Hot young writer Augusten Burroughs visits the Wexner Center to promote his newly released collection of essays, Magical Thinking: True Stories (Picador). His appearance here is guaranteed to be howlingly funny and devastatingly moving. Don't miss this chance to catch a rising star. Augusten Burroughs jumped into the national spotlight with two New York Times bestsellers, Running with Scissors and Dry. Drawing on his troubled childhood and addiction to alcohol as an adult, both memoirs showcase Burroughs's natural gifts as a storyteller and humorist—gifts that have already earned him a major movie adaptation (of Running with Scissors, starring Julianne Moore) and a spot among Entertainment Weekly's "25 Funniest People in America" (above Conan O'Brien and Bernie Mac).
