Product Information

Nominated for the 2009 Audiobook of the Year As a little boy, I had a dream that my father had taken me to the woods where there was a dead body. He buried it and told me I must never tell. It was the only thing we'd ever done together as father and son, and I promised not to tell. But unlike most dreams, the memory of this one never left me. And sometimes...I wasn't altogether sure about one thing: was it just a dream? When Augusten Burroughs was small, his father was a shadowy presence in his life: a form on the stairs, a cough from the basement, a silent figure smoking a cigarette in the dark. As Augusten grew older, something sinister within his father began to unfurl. Something dark and secretive that could not be named. Betrayal after shocking betrayal ensued, and Augusten's childhood was over. The kind of father he wanted didn't exist for him. This father was distant, aloof, uninterested... And then the games began. With A Wolf at the Table, Augusten Burroughs makes a quantum leap into untapped emotional terrain: the radical pendulum swing between love and hate, the unspeakably terrifying relationship between father and son. Told with scorching honesty and penetrating insight, it is a story for anyone who has ever longed for unconditional love from a parent. Though harrowing and brutal, A Wolf at the Table will ultimately leave you buoyed with the profound joy of simply being alive. It's a memoir of stunning psychological cruelty and the redemptive power of hope.

Reviews
"A serious departure . . . a moving depiction of fear and powerlessness from a child's point of view . . . compelling."--Deirdre Donahue,USAToday "Burroughs is doing something new here. . . . Shocking and terrifyingly thrilling . . . hooks the reader immediately. There is gorgeous writing on every page."--Monica Holloway,The Washington Post "An infinitely darker work than the author's previous takes on family dysfunction. Before his mother sent him to live with the loony shrink he immortalized inRunning With Scissors, Burroughs was a kid at the mercy of a father he believes was a sociopath. . . . Burrough's famous humor is mostly absent from this account, yetWolfis not a grim book. How did he survive? . . . Writing--luckily for him and us--helped save him."--People, A four-starPeoplePick "With his new book, Burroughs breaks our hearts. Big time . . .A Wolf at the Tableskillfully reminds us that the past never goes away. It's in our blood."--Rocky Mountain News(A) "Whether your childhood was a fairy tale or a horror story, you'll be engrossed. . . . Even fans of previous work will be shocked by this story, the first chapter of a remarkable life."--Parade "A searing, emotional portrait of a son who wants nothing more than the love his father will not grant him, Burroughs's latest memoir is indeed powerful."--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "As the pre-eminent writer of family dysfunction, Burroughs makes a convincing new case for the common heartbreak of distance between fathers and sons."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "A serious departure . . . a moving depiction of fear and powerlessness from a child's point of view . . . compelling."--Deirdre Donahue,USAToday"Shocking and terrifyingly thrilling, hooks the reader immediately."--The Washington Post"An infinitely darker work than the author's previous takes on family dysfunction.

The audio book includes sound effects and occasional instrumental music, and it breaks new ground by presenting four songs written expressly for the productions. There is one each from Patti Smith, Ingrid Michaelson, Sea Wolf and Tegan Quin." - Washington Post   "I felt that because this book is different than anything I have written before, it deserved a very unique, special treatment and production." - Augusten Burroughs on A Wolf at the Table   "I wanted an audiobook for the iPod generation for people who love books but also love music and film.  I wanted to bring the book to life as fully as possible." - Augusten Burroughs on A Wolf at the Table  in Publishers Weekly "Bestselling author Burroughs has written a brutally frank memoir about his father his difficult, distant, miserable father which he reads himself, effectively.

Canada.com   Past Praise for Augusten Burroughs:   "A flawless audio adaptation of his alternately riotous and heartbreaking memoir." -Publishers Weekly on Running with Scissors   "[Burroughs's] performance blends self-deprecating black humor with wise-cracking confidence.
