AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS
Monday, October 18 at 7 p.m. at Seattle Central Public Library, 1000 Fourth Avenue

Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Augusten Burroughs makes a most welcome return visit to Seattle - and a first visit to the new downtown Central Library - to read from his new book, Magical Thinking: True Stories (St. Martin's). This funny and charming collection of stories are often too strange to be fiction. "Steroid-induced cleaning sprees; prickly encounters with priests; a nerve-shredding session with a sadistic dentist's drill - brimming with bawdy language and bodily fluids, this volume by a man 'made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions,' offers an irresistible display of sanity hanging by a thread." - Booklist. Augusten Burroughs' previous books include Dry and Running with Scissors. The new Central Library is located at 1000 Fourth Avenue, the corner of 4th and Madison.
