Augusten Burroughs, of family-dysfunction fare, offers a new book for Christmas
New and notable
David Sedaris skewered the Christmas spirit a decade ago in his Holidays on Ice collection, and now it’s fellow memoirist and family-dirty-laundry gatherer Augusten Burroughs’ turn. In You Better Not Cry: Stories for Christmas, Burroughs — the author of the bestsellers Dry, Running With Scissors and A Wolf at the Table — recounts his memories of holidays past over the course of seven stories, and if you think it’s going to be all deck-the-halls and 12 Days of Christmas, well, you don’t know Burroughs.
