Dry. A memoir. by Augusten Burroughs



What a poweful memoir!  As Augusten must come to terms with his alcholism, and concurrently his abusive childhood, his ex-lover's deeath from AIDS, the job he dislikes, and rehab and AA meetings, he uses humour and sharp description to allow the reader an inside view of his struggle. I recommend this.
