Best-selling and acclaimed author Augusten Burroughs will discuss his new memoir A Wolf at the Table on Friday, May 16 at 7:00 p.m. at the Coffman Memorial Union Theater, 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis.

Burroughs opens old wounds and exposes the rot and chaos of psychological abuse, cruelty, and abandonment he experienced at the hands of his distant, alcoholic father in A Wolf at the Table.
This heart-rending memoir of one man’s struggle to rationalize his turbulent childhood as he struggles through the spaces between love and hate, adoration and abhorrence, and life and death is Burroughs at his most uncompromising and most vulnerable.

Burroughs is the best-selling author of Sellevision, Running with Scissors, Dry, Magical Thinking, and Possible Side Effects.

Burroughs will sign copies of his book following the discussion. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, or to order a signed copy visit www.bookstore.umn.edu/genref/authors.html.
