{"product_id":"magical-thinking-true-stories","title":"Magical Thinking: True Stories","description":"From the number-one bestselling author of Running with Scissors and Dry comes Augusten Burroughs's most eagerly anticipated collection yet: true stories that give voice to the thoughts that we all have but dare not mention.\n\nIt begins with a Tang Instant-Breakfast Drink television commercial:\n\n\"Yes, you, Augusten. You were great. We want you.\" I can now trace my manic adult tendencies to this moment. It was the first time I felt deeply thrilled about something just a fraction of an instant after being completely crushed. I believe those three words \"We want you\" were enough to cause my brain to rewire itself, and from then on, I would require more than other people....- from Magical Thinking's \"Commercial Break\"\n\nA contest of wills with a deranged cleaning lady. The execution of a rodent carried out with military precision and utter horror. Telemarketing revenge. A different kind of \"roof work.\" Dating an undertaker who shows up in a minivan. This is the fabric of Augusten Burroughs's life: a collection of true stories that are universal in their appeal yet unabashedly intimate, stories that shine a flashlight into both dark and hilarious places. With Magical Thinking, Augusten Burroughs goes where other memoirists fear to tread.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312315945\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.0312315945.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Burroughs, Augusten\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition and has little to no writing, underlining, and or highlighting.
