Magical Thinking: True Stories

Magical Thinking: True Stories by Augusten Burroughs is a sharp, outrageous, and darkly funny collection of personal essays from the bestselling author of Running with Scissors and Dry. In these true stories, Burroughs writes with his trademark honesty, wit, and willingness to say the things most people only think.

From childhood memories of a Tang television commercial to bizarre household conflicts, dating disasters, revenge fantasies, unsettling encounters, and everyday moments pushed into the absurd, this collection moves between hilarity and discomfort with remarkable ease. Burroughs has a gift for turning strange personal experiences into stories that feel both wildly specific and strangely relatable.

Bold, intimate, and often laugh-out-loud funny, Magical Thinking is a strong choice for readers who enjoy memoir essays, dark humour, candid storytelling, and unconventional true-life writing.
