Lit
by Mary Karr
The Liars' Club brought to vivid, indelible life Mary Karr's hardscrabble Texas childhood. Cherry, gave an account of her turbulent adolescence. Now Lit follows Karr's descent into the inferno of alcoholism and madness--and to her astonishing resurrection.
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 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.
