"Running with Scissors" is incredible, and I understand that it's being made into a movie with Annette Bening playing the crazy mother.
Also "Dry" about his recovery from alcoholism, and his newest book is called "Magical Thinking" that is a series of essays. Actually, "magical thinking" also has a lot to do with cults.

He's a combination of David Sedaris and John Waters. (That's what the Boston Globe called him).
