The Tenth Anniversary Edition of the New York Times bestselling book that has sold over half a million copies in paperback. "I was addicted to "Bewitched" as a kid. I worshipped Darren Stevens the First. When he'd come home from work and Samantha would say, ‘Darren, would you like me to fix you a drink?' He'd always rest his briefcase on the table below the mirror in the foyer, wipe his forehead with a monogrammed handkerchief and say, ‘Better make it a double.'" (from Chapter Two)You may not know it, but you've met Augusten Burroughs. You've seen him on the street, in bars, on the subway, at restaurants: a twentysomething guy, nice suit, works in advertising. Regular. Ordinary. But when the ordinary person had two drinks, Augusten was circling the drain by having twelve; when the ordinary person went home at midnight, Augusten never went home at all. Loud, distracting ties, automated wake-up calls and cologne on the tongue could only hide so much for so long. At the request (well, it wasn't really a request) of his employers, Augusten lands in rehab, where his dreams of group therapy with Robert Downey Jr. are immediately dashed by grim reality of fluorescent lighting and paper hospital slippers. But when Augusten is forced to examine himself, something actually starts to click and that's when he finds himself in the worst trouble of all. Because when his thirty days are up, he has to return to his same drunken Manhattan life—and live it sober. What follows is a memoir that's as moving as it is funny, as heartbreaking as it is true. Dry is the story of love, loss, and Starbucks as a Higher Power.

About 50 pages into the book, Burroughs references a moment where he realizes giving his therapist a true statement will probably not go over well, so he says he does "what we do in advertising: I give her a weasel."I kind of felt like Burroughs gave us a weasel, and we fell for it.I can't put a finger on why I felt this: perhaps the whiz-banginess, or the uncannily-timed happening of events, or vignettes that were a little too precious, but it just felt like BS to me. And partway through I started to see some inconsistencies. For example, when Pighead is dying, Burroughs recalls a trip in Massachusets the previous fall, and Pighead says he would do anything to go back to it. Then, just a chapter or so later he references that drive to Massachusets "All those years ago".So...I went hunting and there is an enormous disclaimer at the beginning of the book that says, in so many words, that "names have been changed (unsurprising), characters have been combined (a little more surprising) stories have been embellished and in some cases just outright made up (wholly surprising)."Perhaps I'm just bitter because I worked on an MFA in creative non-fiction but there was an expectation then (20 years ago) that a memoir would be as honest as possible wherever possible, otherwise, it should not be called a memoir. I watched people I went to graduate school with write non fiction material and slave over facts and realities for many years (see Rebecca Skloot). So it just seems like, well, bs that someone cashes in on a memoir with a tiny disclaimer that it is not, in reality, true.To be fair, the book is a great and engaging read, just take it for what it is. Writers have been taken down for their stories being BS. I'm really surprised Burroughs escaped this.
