An article on April 24 about Augusten Burroughs, who has published a new memoir, “A Wolf at the Table,” referred incompletely to the settlement of a lawsuit over another book by Mr. Burroughs, “Running With Scissors,” that was filed by the children of a psychiatrist he lived with as a teenager. In addition to changes in some language on the acknowledgments page, there was a financial settlement of an undisclosed amount, and Mr. Burroughs and his publisher, St. Martin’s Press, agreed to call the work a “book” instead of a “memoir” in the author’s note.

The Books of The Times review on Thursday, about “A Wolf at the Table,” referred incorrectly to another book by Mr. Burroughs, “Sellevision.” It is a satirical novel about a television home-shopping network; it is not about Mr. Burroughs’s experiences in the advertising business. Link
