Whether Augusten Burroughs us describing a contest of wills with a deranged cleaning lady, the self-disgust (and strange thrill) induced by killing a mouse, or the instinctive desire for fifteen minutes of fame in a Tang commercial, his collection of stories gives voice to thoughts we all have but dare not mention. Burroughs¡¦ sharp-eyed observations are unique to him, but somehow universal to us all.
