Summary:
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.
