Book Synopsis Running with Scissors by : Augusten Burroughs

The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir from Augusten Burroughs, Running with Scissors, now a Major Motion Picture! Running with Scissors is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her psychiatrist, a dead-ringer for Santa and a lunatic in the bargain. Suddenly, at age twelve, Augusten Burroughs found himself living in a dilapidated Victorian in perfect squalor. The doctor's bizarre family, a few patients, and a pedophile living in the backyard shed completed the tableau. Here, there were no rules, there was no school. The Christmas tree stayed up until summer, and Valium was eaten like Pez. And when things got dull, there was always the vintage electroshock therapy machine under the stairs.... Running with Scissors is at turns foul and harrowing, compelling and maniacally funny. But above all, it chronicles an ordinary boy's survival under the most extraordinary circumstances.

Book Synopsis Contesting Childhood by : Kate Douglas

The late 1990s and early 2000s witnessed a surge in the publication and popularity of autobiographical writings about childhood. Linking literary and cultural studies, Contesting Childhood draws on a varied selection of works from a diverse range of authorsùfrom first-time to experienced writers. Kate Douglas explores Australian accounts of the Stolen Generation, contemporary American and British narratives of abuse, the bestselling memoirs of Andrea Ashworth, Augusten Burroughs, Robert Drewe, Mary Karr, Frank McCourt, Dave Pelzer, and Lorna Sage, among many others. Drawing on trauma and memory studies and theories of authorship and readership, Contesting Childhood offers commentary on the triumphs, trials, and tribulations that have shaped this genre. Douglas examines the content of the narratives and the limits of their representations, as well as some of the ways in which autobiographies of youth have become politically important and influential. This study enables readers to discover how stories configure childhood within cultural memory and the public sphere.

Book Synopsis Running with scissors by : L.A. Witt

Sono passati diciotto mesi da quando il batterista Jude Colburn ha fatto lo sbaglio più grande della sua vita lasciando la sua band poco prima che raggiungesse il successo. Ora ha una seconda possibilità. Il bassista ha appena mollato il gruppo e Jude suona bene il basso quasi quanto la batteria. Gli altri membri della band non sono molto contenti di riaverlo con loro ma sono disperati. I Running with Scissors hanno bisogno di lui, ma a una condizione: niente sesso tra i membri del gruppo. D’altro canto, è stato quello a rovinare tutto diciotto mesi prima. Jude accetta, ma nessuno lo ha avvisato del batterista che ha preso il suo posto. A.J. Palmer è timido e dimesso… fino a quando non sale sul palco. Cattura l’attenzione di Jude fin dal primo attacco di batteria e all’improvviso la regola del “niente sesso” non è più così semplice da rispettare. Mantenere dei segreti sul pullman del tour non è facile ed è solo una questione di tempo prima che gli altri membri della band si accorgano della situazione. Quando le circostanze degenerano, Jude è a un bivio: sceglierà di avere una seconda chance nella carriera che rimpiange di aver lasciato o di avere una possibilità con l’uomo dei suoi sogni?

Book Synopsis Running with Scissors by : Jennifer Moss Breen

The more complex and ambiguous this world becomes, the greater the uncertainty leaders will face in their day to day professional and personal lives, and the greater the need to recognize and develop their leadership skills to help be the voice of reason when there’s nothing around them but chaos. The book presents real case studies where the authors offer action learning methodologies grounded in various leadership theories. Whether you are a firm or skeptical believer in leadership development, the authors in this book, through their experiences and observations, illustrate how awareness, purpose, attitude, confidence, trust and mindset can play such a critical role in overcoming the toughest of circumstances.
