Review title: How do you just live?
Product review: In no time I finished this autobiographic book and I loved it. Burroughs' style of writing is very natural and prosaic. Every now and then he displays quite some insight in human condition and phylosophy. It seemed to me he has a strong and creative personality. Somehow though he 'likes' to be sedated and lonely. Is there a cause for becoming an alcoholic? Well, some he confesses, others are left behind or dont even exist. I was suprised this publicity agency where he works sends him to a rehabilitation centre to give him a chance to recover. I thought NYC is much more tough. While reading I visited Augusten's website. I found out he is dry now, and happy with his partner Dennis. That's a relief :-) I have seen a lot of drinking and using drugs in the gayscene myself. I guess for the same reasons as for straight people, to control the deep fears of failure.
