If you have read Running with Scissors, you will be familiar with Burroughs method of making horrendous life experiences sound funny (atleast i think so) This book is a series of experiences (filled with his special brand of sarcastic masala ofcourse) not in exact chronological order. Since i have a teeny weeny bit of advertising experience, his chapters on those were relatable and hilarious. Plus ofcourse his mad mother, his dog, his messy(understatement) apartment, his partner and his hatred for dolls (which i share with him) Read it on a rainy afternoon and you will be laughing out loud and getting horrified in succesion.
PS: his writing does have gay written all over it, that certain brand of sarcastic, cruel humour that unfortunately i relate with them (is it a form of defence i wonder). which is good in a few books but will not keep him in the writing business for long. at this point i would like to say i am not homophobic or dislike homosexuals. people who know me will know its just the opposite (wink wink)
