by Augusten Burroughs
This Is How: Proven Aid in Overcoming Shyness, Molestation, Fatness, Spinsterhood, Grief, Disease, Lushery, Decrepitude & More. For Young and Old Alike. St. Martin's. May 2012. 240p. ISBN 9780312563554. $24.95. CD: Macmillan Audio. SELF-HELP
COPY ISBN
Billed as self-help, but don't expect standard advice from the author of Running with Scissors. Among the issues addressed: how to be fat, how not to be healed, and how to feel like crap (for this you need advice?). A one-day laydown on May 8 and a 350,000-copy first printing; quite likely quite big.
