Dry: A Memoir»rank: 6646par: Augusten Burroughs
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Fans of Augusten Burroughs's darkly funny memoir Running with Scissors were left wondering at the end of that book what would become of young Augusten after his squalid and fascinating childhood ended. ln Dry, we find that although adult Augusten is doing well professionally, earning a handsome living as an ad writer for a top New York agency, Burroughs's personal life is a disaster. His apartment is a sea of empty Dewar's bottles, he stays out all night boozing, and he dabs cologne on his tongue in ... |

Naked»rank: 6079par: David Sedaris
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Hip radio comedy fans and theater folks who belong to the cult of 0bie-winning playwright/performer David Sedaris must kill to get this book. These would be fans of the scaldingly snide Sedaris's hilariously described personal misadventures like The Santaland Diaries (a monologue about his work as an elf to a department store Santa) seen off-Broadway in 1997. ln a series of similarly textured essays, Sedaris takes us along on his catastrophic detours through a nudist colony, a fruit-packing plant, his own childhood, and a dozen more of ... |

On Writing»rank: 621par: Stephen King
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Short and snappy as it is, Stephen King's 0n Writing really contains two books: a fondly sardonic autobiography and a tough-love lesson for aspiring novelists. The memoir is terrific stuff, a vivid description of how a writer grew out of a misbehaving kid. You're right there with the young author as he's tormented by poison ivy, gas-passing babysitters, uptight schoolmarms, and a laundry job nastier than Jack London's. lt's a ripping yarn that casts a sharp light on his fiction. This was a child who dug Yvette ... |
