This week we're talking to author Augusten Burroughs about his new book, A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father.
Augusten Burroughs is the best-selling author of Running with Scissors, Magical Thinking, Dry and Sellevision. He has been named in Entertainment Weekly's definitive "It List" and has been honored as one of the "15 Funniest People in America".
Burroughs blends the fantastic and the mundane in his work, and delivers it in a matter-of-fact style. His writing pokes fun at a variety of subjects to include advertising, psychiatrists, religious families, and home shopping networks.
His latest book explores the relationship between father and son, telling a story for anyone longing for love from a parent. Books editor Anne Bartholomew spoke with Burroughs about his latest work.
