About This Book
Running with Scissors 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 doctor's 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 boy's survival
under the most extraordinary circumstances.
