From the bestselling author of "Running with Scissors" and "Dry" comes a new collection of sordid and side-splitting essays. "Possible Side Effects" may just be Augusten Burroughs's most provocative collection yet. From a recollection of a visit from the tooth fairy, to a prolonged encounter with a terribly incontinent puppy, "Possible Side Effects" may include: pleasure, escape, amusement, enlightenment, or general distraction; inappropriate, convulsive laughter, a tingling sensation in the limbs, and sudden gasping; special sensitivity; and various other hilarity-induced afflictions. (Do not operate heavy machinery while reading this book, until you know what effects it may have on you). 291p.
