The kind of father he wanted didn't exist for him. This father was distant, aloof, and uninterested.
And then the "games" began.
With A Wolf at the Table Augusten Burroughs makes a quantum leap into untapped emotional terrain: the radical pendulum swing between love and hate, the unspeakably terrifying relationship between father and son. Told with a scorching honesty and penetrating insight, it is a story for anyone who has ever longed for unconditional love from a parent. Though harrowing and brutal, A Wolf at the Table will ultimately leave you buoyed with a profound joy of simply being alive. It's a memoir of stunning psychological cruelty and the redemptive power of hope. ]]> 3058 3.62 89563 10530 2008 0 0 false Sun Aug 24 08:32:48 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 08:32:48 -0700 2008
