Augusten Burroughs is some what of a recent author, however, his entrance to the world of writing was nothing short of trivial and spectacular. Burroughs as a child was very...different. He often thought of himself as adopted; previously belonging to a wealthy family from anywhere except where he then resided. Burroughs has a sick, twisted sense of humor that leaves one with no other option but to laugh. Augusten was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 23, 1965 to Margaret Robinson and Christopher Robinson. While Burroughs is now an infamous author of our time, interestingly, he has no education beyond elementary school. Augusten often writes of his childhood, but he also writes about boyfriends he has had, carreers he has maintained, as well as his obsessive compulsive disorder. Augusten Burroughs creates a new language within his books, not writing with the typical formality of a biography, it's almost as if he pokes fun at himself throughout each of his novels. Burroughs is a new and rising star in the world of literature, even though his books should be rated R.
