During this midweek, midday installment of Bryant Park's Word for Word series, memoirist (or is that novelist?) Augusten Burroughs reads from his new work, A Wolf at the Table. The book is an account of Burroughs' troubled relationship with his father, John G. Robison, a former philosophy professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It's a change of pace, too: Burroughs has already warned readers that Wolf lacks the irreverent humor of his best-selling memoir Running with Scissors — a book that, despite its comic moments, also serves as a damning portrait of his adoptive family.
