Acerca de esta escucha

You may not know it, but you've met Augusten Burroughs. You've seen him on the street, in bars, on the subway, at restaurants: a twentysomething guy, nice suit, works in advertising. Regular. Ordinary. But when the ordinary person had two drinks, Augusten was circling the drain by having twelve; when the ordinary person went home at midnight, Augusten never went home at all. Loud, distracting ties, automated wake-up calls and cologne on the tongue could only hide so much for so long. At the request (well, it wasn't really a request) of his employers, Augusten lands in rehab, where his dreams of group therapy with Robert Downey Jr. are immediately dashed by grim reality of fluorescent lighting and paper hospital slippers. But when Augusten is forced to examine himself, something actually starts to click and that's when he finds himself in the worst trouble of all. Because when his thirty days are up, he has to return to his same drunken Manhattan life - and live it sober. What follows is a memoir that's as moving as it is funny, as heartbreaking as it is true. Dry is the story of love, loss, and Starbucks as a Higher Power.©2003 Augusten Burroughs; ©2003 by Audio Renaissance, a division of Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC Adicción y Recuperación Alcoholismo Arte y Literatura Autores Biografías y Memorias Concientización acerca de la salud mental Esenciales de recuerdos Memorias Divertido Abuso de sustancias Ingenioso Sincero

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Mr. Burroughs remains ebulliently glib when it's useful, as befits his advertising skills....[He] remains adept at mixing comedy and calamity." (The New York Times)
"Like the alcohol he so enjoys, Burroughs' story of getting dry will go straight into your bloodstream and leave you buzzing, exhilarated, and wiped out...this memoir operates on a high level of involvement and suspense." (Kirkus Reviews)
"[A] wrenching, edifying journey...with the added benefit of being really entertaining." (The New York Times Book Reviews)
"Harrowing yet hilarious personal encounter....His performance blends self-deprecating black humor with wise-cracking confidence. His natural wit and charm keep the listener rooting for his success." (AudioFile)

Featured Article: The top 100 memoirs of all time


All genres considered, the memoir is among the most difficult and complex for a writer to pull off. After all, giving voice to your own lived experience and recounting deeply painful or uncomfortable memories in a way that still engages and entertains is a remarkable feat. These autobiographies, often narrated by the authors themselves, shine with raw, unfiltered emotion sure to resonate with any listener. But don't just take our word for it—queue up any one of these listens, and you'll hear exactly what we mean.

Raw Honesty • Compelling Narrative • Humorous Writing • Emotional Depth • Relatable Struggles • Excellent Timing

A good, funny and inspiring memoir, read (somewhat excruciatingly) by the author himself. Probably best enjoyed in print.

Great story but hard to listen to

As a woman I was leery of listening to a memoir from a male alcoholic's viewpoint. But the writing is pretty incredible and I could still relate to the story very easily. The only criticism I have is that I wished Burroughs would have gone into more detail about what happened after he sobered up a 2nd time. Other than that, a very frank and relatable read.

So much I could relate to

This book made me laugh out loud and burst into tears. Augusten is an incredible writer. I particularly love his audiobooks because the way he reads is so entertaining. 10 out of 10. This is a life lesson in a book. :)

Wow

At first I wasn’t sure I have never read (listened) to a book about a gay character. Relatable and wanted the rest of the story.

Wanted More

I laughed, I cried. But mostly, I listened.

Dry Quotes:

"Part of me believes that love is more valuable when you have to work for it."

"And in my mind, this settles the issue. I would never drink cologne, and am therefore not an alcoholic."

"His laugh is made of porch swings and lemonade."

"I'm lonely. And I'm lonely in some horribly deep way and for a flash of an instant, I can see just how lonely, and how deep this feeling runs. And it scares the shit out of me to be this lonely because it seems catastrophic."

"...handsome people are always interesting to watch. But a handsome person in crisis is riveting."

"When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health, nothing else matters at all."

"Stars should not be seen alone. That's why there are so many. Two people should stand together and look at them. One person alone will surely miss the good ones."

"Part of me felt deep compassion. And another part felt like, You fucker."

A warm rendering of the human condition, straight up with olives and a couple of rocks.
