Blurb

This book was written in an era before trigger warnings. Sensitive readers please proceed with caution. -Love, Augusten.

From the #1 bestselling author of Running with Scissors and Dry-a contagiously funny, heartwarming, shocking, twisted, and absolutely magical collection. True stories that give voice to the thoughts we all have but dare not mention. It begins with a Tang Instant Breakfast Drink television commercial when Augusten was seven. Then there is the contest of wills with the deranged cleaning lady. The execution of a rodent carried out with military precision and utter horror. Telemarketing revenge. Dating an undertaker. And much more. A collection of true stories that are universal in their appeal, yet unabashedly intimate and very funny.

Biography

Augusten Burroughs wurde 1965 in Pittsburgh geboren. Er war u. a. Hundetrainer, Segelschneider und Ladendetektiv, bevor er mit neunzehn als Werbetexter Karriere machte. Nachdem schon sein Roman Sellevision Aufmerksamkeit erregt hatte, wurde Krass! in den USA die Überraschung des Büchersommers 2002 und hielt sich in den Bestsellerlisten monatelang ganz vorn. Der Autor, der in direkter Linie von König James II. von Schottland abstammt, lebt mit seinem Freund und zwei Hunden in Manhattan.
