Possible Side Effects

**National Bestseller**

From the #1 *New York Times* bestselling author of *Running with Scissors* comes Augusten Burroughs's most provocative collection of true stories yet. From nicotine gum addiction to lesbian personal ads to incontinent dogs, *Possible Side Effects* mines Burroughs's life in a series of uproariously funny essays. These are stories that are uniquely Augusten, with all the over-the-top hilarity of *Running with Scissors,* the erudition of *Dry,* and the breadth of *Magical Thinking*. A collection that is universal in its appeal and unabashedly intimate, *Possible Side Effects* continues to explore that which is most personal, mirthful, disturbing, and cherished, with unmatched audacity. A cautionary tale in essay form. Be forewarned--hilarious, troubling, and shocking results might occur.
