Augusten Burroughs begins Toil & Trouble
explaining how he learned that he was a witch. I was not expecting fiction, so I checked the library marking on the book’s spine: Is it ‘B’ for biography, or ‘F’ for fiction? The spine read ‘B’; I skipped ahead. The book turns out to be about Mr. Burroughs’s moving with his partner from New York City to Connecticut, and in the process, re-connecting with his mother, but only after her death.
