An intimate and honest memoir.
In chronicling the development and demise of the different relationships he's had while living in New York, Augusten Burroughs examines what it means to be in love, what it means to be in lust, and what it means to be figuring it all out. With Augusten's unique and singular observations and his own unabashed way of detailing both the horrific and the humorous, Lust & Wonder is an intimate and honest memoir that his legions of fans have been waiting for.

"A satisfying success story from a reliably outspoken raconteur." - Kirkus
"Fourteen years after Running with Scissors, Burroughs seems to be pacing in circles." - Publishers Weekly
