About the Author

AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS is the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Possible Side Effects, Magical Thinking," "Dry," "Running with Scissors," and "Sellevision." He lives in New York City and Amherst, Massachussetts.

Performer/poet PATTI SMITH and daughter Jesse Smith collaborated with songwriter Michael Campbell in their response to "A Wolf at the Table." The song, "The Only Time," is an effort to capture the mood of the memoir by Augusten Burroughs, while maintaining a hopeful undercurrent.

INGRID MICHAELSON's self-released album of quirky, pop gems, "Girls and Boys," gained attention when her songs including, "The Way I Am," were featured on the show, "Grey's Anatomy." With her music now a fixture on the Billboard and iTunes charts, Ingrid continues to have unprecedented success as a do-it-yourself artist.

Named after Jack London's 1904 novel, Los Angeles' SEA WOLF is the nom de plume for singer/songwriter Alex Brown Church and the orchestral indie rock he creates. His debut LP, "Leaves In The River," was released last year on Dangerbird Records to critical acclaim. Touring the country with label mates Silversun Pickups and veterans "Nada Surf," the band made its national television debut on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

Although she is currently spending a dysfunctional amount of time touring the world with her indie pop band, TEGAN QUIN from Tegan and Sara, is a bookworm who lives and writes songs in Vancouver, Canada. "His Love" was recorded in her home studio/library.

Reviews

"Intense, sincere, and passionate, Burroughs offers a deeply felt, intimate portrait of the most disastrous period in his life. He holds nothing back, and in fully giving voice to his emotions, he makes each moment immediate for the listener." - "AudioFile""" "In audiobook form, Burroughs's memoir is an unforgettable experience that will resonate with many." - "Library Journal," Starred Review ..".There are books that were born for bells and whistles, and Augusten Burrough's "Wolf at the Table "is one. This fifth memoir of abuse and excess is read, bleated, rumbled and, at times, tearfully shouted by the author himself. The audio book includes sound effects and occasional instrumental music, and it breaks new ground by presenting four songs written expressly for the productions. There is one each from Patti Smith, Ingrid Michaelson, Sea Wolf and Tegan Quin." - "Washington Post""" "I felt that because this book is different than anything I have written before, it deserved a very unique, special treatment and production.""--"Augusten Burroughs on "A Wolf at the Table" "I wanted an audiobook for the iPod generation - for people who love books but also love music and film. I wanted to bring the book to life as fully as possible.""--"Augusten Burroughs on "A Wolf at the Table" in "Publishers Weekly""Bestselling author Burroughs has written a brutally frank memoir about his father - his difficult, distant, miserable father - which he reads himself, effectively. Original music by Patti Smith, Sea Wolf, Ingrid Michaelson and Tegan Quin - composed for this audiobook - graces the final CD." - "Canada.com" Past Praise for Augusten Burroughs: "A flawless audio adaptation of his alternately riotous and heartbreaking memoir." --Publishers Weekly on Running with Scissors "[Burroughs's] performance blends self-deprecating black humor with wise-cracking confidence. His natural (or hard-learned) wit and charm keep the listener rooting for his success." --AudioFile on Dry

New York Times best-selling author Burroughs's (Running with Scissors) latest memoir takes a searing look at his relationship with his father. Artists including Patti Smith contributed four original songs to this recording, inspired by the text: there are sound effects at dramatic points as well as a subtle score, one that neither intrudes on nor overwhelms Burroughs's relatively talented narration. In audiobook form, Burroughs's memoir is an unforgettable experience that will resonate with many. Highly recommended for all collections.
