What is Running with Scissors : a Memoir about?

<br> <b>The #1 <i>New York Times</i> Bestseller</b> <b>An <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> Top Ten Book of the Year</b> <b>Now a Major Motion Picture</b><i>Running with Scissors</i> is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her unorthodox psychiatrist who bore a striking resemblance to Santa Claus. So at the age of twelve, Burroughs found himself amidst Victorian squalor living with the doctorâs bizarre family, and befriending a pedophile who resided in the backyard shed. The story of an outlaw childhood where rules were unheard of, and the Christmas tree stayed up all year round, where Valium was consumed like candy, and if things got dull an electroshock- therapy machine could provide entertainment. The funny, harrowing and bestselling account of an ordinary boyâs survival under the most extraordinary circumstances. <b>Running with Scissors Acknowledgments<br></b>Gratitude doesnât begin to describe it: Jennifer Enderlin, Christopher Schelling, John Murphy, Gregg Sullivan, Kim Cardascia, Michael Storrings, and everyone at St. Martinâs Press. Thank you: Lawrence David, Suzanne Finnamore, Robert Rodi, Bret Easton
