Barbara Nutting's Reviews> Magical Thinking: True Stories

Never heard of this author although he is very well known in literary circles. Now that I have found him I’m hooked on his horrendous stories. Funny, irreverent, obscene and downright weird. This is a selection of short stories that include Tang, gay affairs and a nod to a pre-President Donald Trump!

I Googled him and that really peaked my curiosity, now I’m on a mission to read more! Picked this book up at my neighborhood Little Library.” Burroughs is very similar to James Frey in A Million Little Pieces, a black-out alcoholic who seeks treatment at the same Minnesota clinic. This book also has a gory dental scene. Don’t know why these morbid stories are appealing to me, but they are!
