Augusten Xon Burroughs (born Christopher Richter Robison, October 23, 1965) is an American writer known for his New York Times bestselling memoir Running with Scissors (2002).
Before I'm a writer, I'm definitely a reader and when I read memoir, I really want it to be true.
I love to both give and receive very old books.

And I tend to listen to NPR when I'm not writing.
