编辑推荐"Running with Scissors is hilarious, freaky-deaky, berserk, controlled, transcendent, touching, affectionate, vengeful, all-embracing. . . . It makes a good run at blowing every other [memoir] out of the water."--Carolyn See, The Washington Post "[Running with Scissors] promotes visceral responses (of laughter, wincing, retching) on nearly every page. . . . Funny and rich with child's-eye details of adults who have gone off the rails."--The New York Times Book Review "It is as funny as it is twisted."--GQ "A hilarious and horrifying memoir."--Los Angeles Times "The anecdotes can be so flippant, and so insanely funny (quite literally), that the effect is that of a William Burroughs situation comedy."--The New York Times "Burroughs defies the 'woe is me' stigma of modern memoir with a raucous recounting of his loony teenage years."--Entertainment Weekly (grade: A) "A memoir that is both horrifying and mordantly funny."--San Francisco Chronicle "Wickedly, ridiculously funny."--Boston Herald "Reads like David Sedaris writing The Hotel New Hampshire."--The Boston Globe "Burroughs has memorialized his bizarre childhood, showing off a dark wit that often rivals that of David Sedaris--while telling a true story that would make even Sedaris cringe."--New York "Screamingly funny . . . In the end, the book celebrates Burroughs's resilient, upbeat spirit, which helps him surmount one of the weirder childhoods on record."--Deirdre Donahue, USA Today "[Running with Scissors] will transport you."--Vogue "Irreverent, scurrilous, profane, licentious, horrific, and vile. It'll warp your mind, upset the neighbors, and lower your standing in the community. In other words, it's funny as hell."--Elle (Nonfiction Book of the Year) "Written with humor and clear affection for its oddball characters, Running with Scissors is a story of shocking discovery and unlikely survival."--The Onion "Running with Scissors is Dave Peltzer with a whoopee cushion attached . . . you're just thankful to read a memoir that's genuinely memorable, not mawkish."--The Observer (London) "Running with Scissors is a story so strange it could never be fiction . . . a huge critical and commercial success . . . deftly written, smart, and funny."--GQ (UK) "A lasting treasure a gorgeously written true-life story destined to be cherished and quoted long after its last page is read . . . bravely stands as a life-affirming survival guide for all the misfits of the world."--The Tampa Tribune "It's gross, it's shocking and its humor is blacker than a thousand midnights . . . But this hilarious, provocative, and oddly touching book draws you into a bizarre world and keeps you rooting for its unusual narrator to survive, thrive, and break free."--The Hartford Courant "Brutal, disturbing, and often wildly funny . . . a stirring testament to a boy's strength in an environment of unfathomable heartache and dysfunction."--Star Tribune "A surreal and entertaining trip through a young life most readers will thank God wasn't theirs . . . Burroughs never lets his readers forget that stuck in the middle of all the madness is a confused boy."--The Plain Dealer (Cleveland) "Bound to please fans of dark humor . . . Burroughs's account, full of frightening and hilarious images, is an entertaining, moving tale of an unconventional 1980s coming of age. It could be the one book you remember reading this summer."--Fort Worth Star-Telegram "If you love Sedaris, you'll fold over laughing with Running with Scissors."--Genre "Burroughs tempers the pathos with sharp, riotous humor . . . Edgier, but reminiscent of Dave Eggers's A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, this is a survival story readers won't forget."--Booklist "Beautifully written with a finely tuned sense of style and wit . . . This memoir of a nightmarish youth is both compulsively entertaining and tremendously provocative."--Publishers Weekly "A grotesque comic merger of John Waters and David Sedaris."--Kirkus Reviews |
