And quite frankly, anyone who changes their name from "Chris" to "Augusten" when they get published can kiss my ass.

that was a very good and interesting article, thanks for posting it.

I doubt that Augusten made it up. I think the family just wants a piece of what Augusten got, fifteen minutes of fame.
