Augusten Burroughs' memoir Toil & Trouble is a darkly humorous and unflinchingly honest account of a young man's struggles to survive a tumultuous childhood.
Burroughs was born into a family of eccentrics. His father was a brilliant but alcoholic lawyer, and his mother was a hypochondriac and depressive. Burroughs' parents divorced when he was young, and he was raised by his mother and her abusive second husband.
Burroughs' childhood was filled with poverty, fear, and instability. He was often neglected and abused, and he developed a variety of coping mechanisms, including self-harm and drug abuse. In his memoir, Burroughs offers a raw and unflinching look into the mind of a young boy who is struggling to make sense of a chaotic and unpredictable world.
Despite the hardships he faced, Burroughs' memoir is ultimately a story of hope and resilience. Burroughs was able to overcome his traumatic childhood and become a successful writer and speaker. His memoir offers a powerful reminder that even the most difficult circumstances can be overcome.
Review
Toil & Trouble is a powerful and moving memoir. Burroughs writes with honesty and humor about his difficult childhood, and he provides a unique perspective on family relationships. This memoir is a must-read for anyone who has ever struggled with addiction, abuse, or mental health issues.
5/5 Stars
Toil & Trouble is a memoir that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. Burroughs' story is a powerful reminder that even the most difficult circumstances can be overcome.
