The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir from Augusten Burroughs, Running with Scissors, now a Major Motion Picture! Running with Scissors is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her psychiatrist, a dead-ringer for Santa and a lunatic in the bargain. Suddenly, at age twelve, Augusten Burroughs found himself living in a dilapidated Victorian in perfect squalor. The doctor's bizarre family, a few patients, and a pedophile living in the backyard shed completed the tableau. Here, there were no rules, there was no school. The Christmas tree stayed up until summer, and Valium was eaten like Pez. And when things got dull, there was always the vintage electroshock therapy machine under the stairs.... Running with Scissors is at turns foul and harrowing, compelling and maniacally funny. But above all, it chronicles an ordinary boy's survival under the most extraordinary circumstances.

Sono passati diciotto mesi da quando il batterista Jude Colburn ha fatto lo sbaglio più grande della sua vita lasciando la sua band poco prima che raggiungesse il successo. Ora ha una seconda possibilità. Il bassista ha appena mollato il gruppo e Jude suona bene il basso quasi quanto la batteria. Gli altri membri della band non sono molto contenti di riaverlo con loro ma sono disperati. I Running with Scissors hanno bisogno di lui, ma a una condizione: niente sesso tra i membri del gruppo. D’altro canto, è stato quello a rovinare tutto diciotto mesi prima. Jude accetta, ma nessuno lo ha avvisato del batterista che ha preso il suo posto. A.J. Palmer è timido e dimesso… fino a quando non sale sul palco. Cattura l’attenzione di Jude fin dal primo attacco di batteria e all’improvviso la regola del “niente sesso” non è più così semplice da rispettare. Mantenere dei segreti sul pullman del tour non è facile ed è solo una questione di tempo prima che gli altri membri della band si accorgano della situazione. Quando le circostanze degenerano, Jude è a un bivio: sceglierà di avere una seconda chance nella carriera che rimpiange di aver lasciato o di avere una possibilità con l’uomo dei suoi sogni?

Eighteen months ago, drummer Jude Colburn made the biggest mistake of his life when he walked away from his band just as they were on the brink of success. Now, he’s got a second chance. The band’s bassist just quit, and Jude plays bass almost as well as he plays drums. The other band members aren’t thrilled, but they are desperate. Running with Scissors needs him, but there’s one condition: no hooking up with bandmates. That’s what ruined things eighteen months ago, after all. Jude’s on board, but no one warned him about the drummer who replaced him. A.J. Palmer is shy and unassuming . . . until he hits the stage. He gets Jude’s attention from the first beat, and suddenly that “no hookups” rule isn’t so easy to follow. Keeping secrets on a tour bus isn’t easy either, and it’s only a matter of time before the band catches on. When everything hits the fan, Jude has to choose: a second chance at the career he’s always regretted leaving, or a shot at the man of his dreams? This 82,000 word novel was previously published.
