![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Augusten is unsure what to think of him but likes his daughter Hope, a receptionist at the clinic. His parents fight regularly, often violently, and eventually seek the support of unconventional psychiatrist Dr. His father, Norman, is emotionally absent, and when his mother is out, Augusten spends the time dressing, acting, and talking like her. He emulates her every move and hates it when she leaves the house. The book opens in 1976, when Augusten Burroughs is 11, by describing-from Augusten’s point of view-his deep childhood fixation on being like his mother (Dierdre) and becoming famous. This guide uses the 2002 Picador edition of the book.Ĭontent Warning: The source material features graphic depictions of sexual assault of a minor, drug use, discussions of suicide, domestic violence, and derogatory language in reference to people with mental health conditions. ![]()
