Native in a Strange Land: Trials and Tremors

A few years ago I read Running with Scissors and found it over-the-top but tolerable. Then I read the sequel (Dry) and thought it was okay. Last year, I read Sellevision and detested it, swearing off Burroughs forever. But then I realized something: Burroughs is not a fiction writer - he's a memoirist. So I decided to give Magical Thinking a chance because Burroughs was going back to his strength, and because rather than a full-length memoir, Magical Thinking is a series of short snippets of his life. Overall, I found it uneven. There are several snippets that are hysterical (my favorite being "Vanderbilt Genes"), but there a number that are fairly uninteresting. Burroughs' trademark wit is still here, so I'm sure fans of Burroughs will like this very much. My biggest problem is, as I have written elsewhere, Burroughs is a poor man's David Sedaris - the same crazy life stories flush with humor - but Burroughs lacks likability, and he admits that. Burroughs admits that he's a terrible person with lots of issues, so the only thing that I can think of that makes him so popular is that he's so open to revealing his terrible side to everyone it's captivating in a horrible way. It's like watching a train wreck happen. If you're into keeping up with what stupid thing Britney Spears did this week, you'll probably enjoy the Burroughs memoirs, too. I think this one is the last one for me, thanks.
