Dry:
A Memoir
Augusten Burroughs
You may not know it, but
you've met Augusten Burroughs. You've seen him on the street, in bars, on the
subway, at restaurants: a twenty-something guy, nice suit, works in advertising.
Regular. Ordinary. But when the ordinary person had two drinks, Augusten was
circling the drain by having twelve; when the ordinary person went home at
midnight, Augusten never went home at all. Loud, distracting ties, automated
wake-up calls, and cologne on the tongue could only hide so much for so long. At
the request (well, it wasn't really a request) of his employers, Augusten lands
in rehab, where his dreams of group therapy with Robert Downey, Jr., are
immediately dashed by the grim reality of fluorescent lighting and paper
hospital slippers. But when Augusten is forced to examine himself, something
actually starts to click, and that's when he finds himself in the worst trouble
of all. Because when his thirty days are up, he has to return to his same
drunken Manhattan life - and live it sober. What follows is a memoir that's as
moving as it is funny, as heartbreaking as it is real. Dry is the story of love,
loss, and Starbucks as a higher power.
