Augusten Burroughs Is My Hero - Running With Scissors

two readings in the space of less than six months. I had not been as excited about an author long ago.

My discovery Running with Scissors and Augusten Burroughs was the result of a total coincidence. One day by reading the biography of Ryan Murphy, who had managed to fascinate me with Nip / Tuck, I realized he had made a film, never released in theaters in France. Yet, with a dream cast and a production signed Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston, the UFO had everything to be a real success. Its totally fascinated watching me and then I needed to know more.

I learned well the existence of Augusten and I immediately began to devour all of his work at a fast pace. Running With Scissors was going to be the first in the list and also probably the most shocking.

Augusten Burroughs tells us there's essentially chaotic adolescence in the '70s with a talent tinged with tenderness and humor unmatched. Surrounded by an absent father and an alcoholic who seems to give him any attention (their only business communications is to take their garbage to the dump) and a mother completely narcissistic poet who is interested in him only intermittently, because that it sends back an image of herself flattering, young Augusten is struggling to find its place. Obviously, his parents have sex extremely confrontational and violent. His mother also suffers from serious mental illness and is regularly subjected to terrible psychotic episodes.

To survive, Augusten gradually develops a unique personality and is related to some things he was able to check in daily dreary and unhappy (his hair and the sparkle of her jewelry, for example). Anyway, so it has no friends (he wrote have been two in the past, but his mother had "upset" their mothers, they forbade their offspring to attend).

If you think this story is, after all, just very ordinary, perhaps change your view on learning until the age of 13 years, mother Augusten says of her son in a quasi-final in the care of her psychiatrist, a doctor who looks ridiculous in Santa Claus, and literally leaves the house for the least special of the latter. He lives with his stepfamily and it hosts some patients occasionally (or, for some, almost permanently).

What horrifies First our heroes and we at the same time, it's grimy appearance of the desolate who swears in the neighborhood, rather customary luxurious homes and shiny. He who loves order and cleanliness is required, by necessity, to acclimate to an environment where completely messy disputes, tensions, but also an immense freedom reign. That freedom, he will cherish as long as it weigh him because as he wrote, he would have liked someone to tell him sometimes what not to do. So it comes to jail himself. But the doctor believes that everyone, from the age of 13, is mature enough to make its own decisions and Augusten likes to feel listened for the first time in his life and find that it speaks to him as an adult.

surreal scenes and psychological violence often unheard succeed and we can hardly believe that in 2010 the events have occurred such as Burroughs describes them. And yet. In this family so unstable and wobbly, Augusten eventually assert themselves and know what to do in his life. At an age when personality is constructed generally, that of Augusten deconstructed before our eyes, before gradually, it will eventually find its way.

With lucidity and a decline on bizzarerie incredible world that surrounds it, yet the author shows us the tenderness he feels for each person of his new family. But this does not prevent him from envying the lack of sentimental attachment to his biological brother, who suffers from Asperger Syndrome.

Over time, Augusten is constantly torn between two feelings: that of having just want a normal life, and to be perfectly in his element in Finch family.

often poignant memoirs, which are yet the name of "novel", take us on a roller coaster of excitement, we are always ourselves we put into question, and lead us to change our worldview. With his words, he has the ability to show us the best people, we learn not to judge anyone by appearances (after all, he himself always felt different and spoke to the branches of trees when he was little ). Running With Scissors issue above all a great message of tolerance and when it closes the book, you feel changed. We grew up, along with its author.

Signs Of A Scorpio Man Who Is Interested

Oh La La! the Flèche d'Or - December 3, 2010

Almost a year and a half to the day after our last band's live Natacha Le Jeune, we were excited at the idea of finding him on stage to prepare the release of his debut album on January 24 next . If the room was empty when we arrived, we had just enough time to swallow a beer or two before a small crowd of connoisseurs arrived at the Golden Arrow and the concert begins.

Still rather cold when arriving on scene, Natasha and her two accomplices we do not adressèrent hello. Yes, this is the first innovation: the group has only three members, as various articles in the press had previously been able to suggest. But that's not all. In place and the bass and keyboards, there are ... Natasha, a bit clueless, which makes the job of three people at a time, not always very convincingly.

Yet, songs, sexy and catchy, were there. Natasha does not start his set with the single Relax , which runs for some months Hearsay FM (formerly Radio Rock cuktivée and cultivating become the property of Arthur, Mr. Virgin Radio) but Goodbye Superman. Needless to say we knew them by heart, after more than a year and a half years to listen.

Texts provocative, sexual, ambiguous, the group least in lace ASA Dragon, which nevertheless arose already there. Natasha adds even waving his fist on A fist is you (written by Philippe Katerine), while the explicitness of this song is already pretty obvious. If we rediscover with pleasure Rendezvous with a bastard, that we had heard for a long time, both sung in English news titles prove to be the weakest of the concert.

expected a show, that of a showman who knows how to pass his energy usually angry and tense. But unfortunately, the concert does not really take off. Natasha looks cramped to find a Parisian audience reactions to almost nonexistent. Clement Fionio (also a member of Paco Volume, with Antoine Boistelle, drummer) took on him more and more space within training, both on stage and singing that Natasha seems to leave the place with no regrets. If it starts to drop a little late on Paris does not love you, what is arguably the best title of the new album is a bit late, and we all still leaves a lot to our hunger. We had no idea such coldness.

In his defense, the group is new and probably still need to break in and understand what it succeeds . Natacha Le Jeune being responsible for some of my strongest emotions in concert, I'll wait to see more (and listen to the album) before drawing a cross on Oh La La!

After the set, all stressed and shy, I took my courage in both hands and went over to the singer while she was at the bar now discuss. We had already exchanged a few messages on Facebook and I am dying to offer him an interview. She asked me what I thought of the show. I said I thought it was good, but she had appeared tense, especially at first. Immediately, she seemed annoyed because as I have read here or there, what she wants above all, that stand out from his former band and the image she had been able to give . For more information, I then proposed to do an interview for the blog. Very nice, she immediately wrote his email address on a flyer that was lying and after having greeted her, I came away proud of myself and full of hope.
