What is the author's style in Dry by Augusten Burroughs?

Augusten Burroughs is the author and first-person narrator of the nonfiction book, Dry. It is a memoir that describes his battle with alcohol over a ten-year period of his life, although events are compressed and combined to make the story more concise and interesting. He grew up in New England. His mother gave him away to her psychiatrist's family at a young age, and Augusten has a tumultuous life growing up. His father was an alcoholic and sometimes hurt Augusten during the father's blackouts. Augusten was also abused by Neil Bookman while living with the family.
