You Better Not Cry

A wonderfully twisted collection of true Christmas stories from the author of "Running with Scissors". Of course you've eaten too much chocolate at Christmas...but have you ever eaten the face off a six-foot-stuffed Santa? You've seen gingerbread houses...but have you ever made your own gingerbread tenement? You've woken up with a hangover...but have you ever woken up next to Kris Kringle himself? Augusten Burroughs has, and in this caustically funny, nostalgic, poignant, and moving collection, he recounts Christmases past and present - as only he can. With gimlet-eyed wit and illuminated prose, Augusten shows how the holidays bring out the worst in us and sometimes, just sometimes, the very, very best.

Observer 'Burroughs is a natural storyteller... as brilliantly witty, waspish and self-deprecating as ever.' Daily Mail 'A hilarious and skilled raconteur - he's so awful, it's hard not to like him.'
