• NBCC Award Finalist
Mary Karr’s unforgettable sequel to her beloved and bestselling memoirs
The Liars’ Club
and
Cherry
“lassos you, hogties your emotions and won’t let you go” (Michiko Kakutani,
New York Times
).
Lit
is about getting drunk and getting sober; becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; learning to write by learning to live. Written with Karr's relentless honesty, unflinching self-scrutiny, and irreverent, lacerating humor, it is a truly electrifying story of how to grow up—as only Mary Karr can tell it.
The Boston Globe
calls
a book that “reminds us not only how compelling personal stories can be, but how, in the hands of a master, they can transmute into the highest art."
The New York Times Book Review
calls it “a master class on the art of the memoir” and Susan Cheever states, simply, that
is “the best book about being a woman in America I have read in years."
