Lit

The long awaited sequel to the beloved and bestselling 'The Liars' Club' and 'Cherry' - a memoir about a self-professed 'blackbelt sinner's' descent into the inferno of alcoholism and madness, and her astonishing resurrection.

Mary Karr

'Searing... A book that lassos you, hogties your emotions and won't let you go... Chronicles with searching intelligence, humor and grace the author's slow, sometimes exhilarating, sometimes painful discovery of her vocation and her voice as a poet and writer.' Michiko Kakutani, New York Times 'A brutally honest, sparkling story.' Glamour 'Dazzling... Lit 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.' Boston Globe 'Scrappy, gut-wrenching, irresistible. [Written] with trademark wit, precision, and unfailing courage.' Pam Houston, O Magazine 'Karr could tell you what's on her grocery list, and its humor would make you bust a gut. She holds the position of grande dame memoirista.' Samantha Dunn, Los Angeles Times 'An absolute gem that secures Karr's place as one of the best memoirists of her generation... [She] writes with a singular combination of poetic grace and Texan verve.' Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
