As a little boy, I had a dream that my father had taken me to the woods where there was a dead body. He buried it and told me I must never tell. It was the only thing we’d ever done together as father and son, and l promised not to tell. But unlike most dreams, the memory of this one never left me. And sometimes... I wasn’t altogether sure about one thing: was it just a dream? WHEN AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS WAS SMALL, his father was a shadowy presence in his life: a form on the stairs, a cough from the basement, a silent figure smoking a cigarette in the dark. As Augusten grew older, something sinister within his father began to unfurl. Something dark and secretive that could not be named.

As a little boy, I had a dream that my father had taken me to
the woods where there was a dead body. He buried it and told me I
must never tell. It was the only thing we’d ever done together
as father and son, and l promised not to tell. But unlike most
dreams, the memory of this one never left me. And sometimes... I
wasn’t altogether sure about one thing: was it just a dream?
WHEN AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS WAS SMALL, his father was a shadowy
presence in his life: a form on the stairs, a cough from the
basement, a silent figure smoking a cigarette in the dark. As
Augusten grew older, something sinister within his father began
to unfurl. Something dark and secretive that could not be named.
Betrayal after shocking betrayal ensued, and Augusten’s
childhood was over. The kind of father he wanted didn’t exist
for him. This father was distant, aloof, uninterested.
And then the "games" began.
With A Wolf at the Table, Augusten Burroughs makes a quantum
leap into untapped emotional terrain: the radical pendulum swing
between love and hate, the unspeakably terrifying relationship
between father and son. Told with scorching honesty and
penetrating insight, it is a story for anyone who has ever longed
for unconditional love from a parent. Though harrowing and
brutal, A Wolf at the Table will ultimately leave you buoyed with
the profound joy of simply being alive. It’s a memoir of
stunning psychological cruelty and the redemptive power of hope.
