Synopsis

Reviews
All of Auggie's stories purport to be true, and there are at least elements of truth in each one. This one isn't quite as self-absorbed and whiny as some of his other books and aside from giving us a likeable, if infuriatingly passive, main character Burroughs also includes a hunky love interest that you just wish would fall in love with you as readily as he fell for Burroughs. Running with Scissors may be his better known memoir, but Dry is a more satisfying story.
