Burroughs and the Wolf

Augusten Burroughs' new memoir, AWolf at the Table, is a more serious work than his previous memoirs: Running with Scissors and Dry.  This one is regarding his late father who was a dangerous alcoholic.  Although he was a respected college professor, his father was different at home.  Abusiveness and violent rages emerged at night.

His older brother, John Robison, who has Asperger's Syndrome, confirmed in his memoir called Look Me in the Eye that their father was an alcoholic.

I'm interested in getting this book.
