Mother gave guardianship to her psychiatrist when he was 13. Now we know what would happen if a Jackie Collins novel mated with a Stephen King novel and the story was made into a National Lampoon movie. This is a bizarre story of two dysfunctional families that is very-well written and oddly funny. It's a testament to human resilience that the author didn't grow up to be a serial killer.
You will either love Running With Scissors or you will hate it. I loved it. OK, there are tedious passages, when you feel Burroughs is doing the writerly equivalent of adding extra stuffing to a perfectly comfortable beanbag. But it is impossible not to laugh at all the jokes; to admire the sardonic, fetid tone; to wonder, slack-jawed and agog, at the sheer looniness of the vista he conjures up. The book, which promotes visceral responses (of laughter, wincing, retching) on nearly every page, contains the kind of scenes that are often called harrowing but which are also plainly funny and rich with child's-eye details of adults who have gone off the rails.

Bizar humoristisk selvbiografi om en dreng, hvis mor overlod opdragelsen af ham til en vanvittig psykiater. Fra han er 12 år bor han hos lægen og dennes sære familie, et par patienter og en pædofil. Valium uddeles som var det slik, og hvis behandlingen går for langsomt, er der altid den gamle elektrochokmaskine under trappen. No library descriptions found. |
