|
by Augusten Burroughs Burroughs has written a profoundly sad but tender memoir of his childhood with an emotionally distant and abusive father and a mother who was at one time in a mental institution. His father was unpredictable and drank heavily. He quarreled with Augusten's mother to the point that they separated. He was away from home a lot, and when he returned Augusten would always try to please him even though Augusten had violent dreams that his father might do him harm. A Wolf at the Table is a disturbing yet compelling account of the painful upbringing of a young boy trying to cope with an almost impossible emotional situation. |
