First came Running with Scissors. Then came Dry. Now, there'sLust & Wonder.
In chronicling the development and demise of the different relationships he's had while living in New York, Augusten Burroughs examines what it means to be in love, what it means to be in lust, and what it means to be figuring it all out. With Augusten's unique and singular observations and his own unabashed way of detailing both the horrific and the humorous,Lust and Wonder is an intimate and honest memoir that his legions of fans have been waiting for.

There are people that I find endlessly fascinating and Augusten Burroughs is one of those people. I have read everything that he has written and have been sucked into his life...his life is wacky, inspiring, neurotic and sometimes dark but it is always ultimately one heck of a good time hanging out with him within the pages of his books. His brutal honesty and his ability to bare his life for the reader is what makes him so compelling. I am glad that he continues to share his life with us because it is original and captivating.
