Title: Running with Scissors - Augusten Burroughs - book
Summary :
In the shadow of psychotic parents, Augusten dreams of fame and glamour. When his shrink becomes his legal guardian, an even wilder life opens up to him, in a household of astonishing extravagance. Everyone is free to chew dog food in front of the TV or play with the electroshock machine. The poignant and hilarious tale of a childhood unlike any other.
"Augusten Burroughs tells his story very well: the comedy of the situation is echoed from scene to scene, until the end, to modestly shade the drama of the loss of childhood."
