RELEASE NOTES:
Sometimes I think I have too many books. This is the EXACT reason I know this is true... *laugh* I had a meeting at Triumph today and saw this and excitedly grabbed it... got it home and ummm... yeah, I already have it in my TBR pile. I'll bring this with me next time I go to Triumph to re-release it there. -- Duh! :-)

From the Publisher
From the author of the runaway New York Times bestseller Running with Scissors comes a hilarious, irreverent, and twisted memoir of becoming a man
With unconventional wit and a wonderfully weird way of looking at things, Augusten Burroughs chronicles his life on the edge after leaving his deeply eccentric foster family. Dry opens in Manhattan, where Augusten has established a life for himself as a high-paid advertising hotshot. But his past haunts him still as he tries to create a grown-up life. Dry is at times howlingly funny, devastatingly moving, and, in the end, uplifting. It further establishes Burroughs as one of the most original authors writing today.
