Detailed item info
| Synopsis Mary Karr's brilliant debut, THE LIARS' CLUB, provided a parade of imitators with the courage that they needed to transform the harrowing anguish of their troubled childhood into literature. With LIT, her third memoir, Karr surges ahead of the pack, displaying the sensibility she has acquired in maturation, even as she documents the process. Having assessed the damage of her childhood and adolescence in her first two books, Karr turns to her recovery, as she charts the healing process which gradually transformed her from a 17-year-old alcoholic masochist into a 50-year-old dutiful Catholic mother. The young Karr tosses in the turbulent wake of her traumatic upbringing, struggling to convince herself of the significance of education even as she drinks herself into an emotional collapse. She describes her religious conversion without resorting to sermons, and finally accepts that redemption may be held in the process of literary confession. LIT was named a finalist for the 2009 National Books Critics Circle Award for autobiography and selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the 10 Best Books of 2009.
Publisher's Note Lit follows Mary Karr's descent into the inferno of alcoholism and madness-and her astonishing resurrection. Karr's longing for a solid family seems secure when her marriage to a handsome, Shakespeare-quoting poet produces a son they adore. But she can't outrun her apocalyptic past. She drinks herself into the same numbness that nearly devoured her charismatic but troubled mother, reaching the brink of suicide. A hair-raising stint in "The Mental Marriott" awakens her to the possibility of joy, and leads her to an unlikely faith. Lit is about getting drunk and getting sober; becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; learning to write by learning to live. It is a truly electrifying story of how to grow up-as only Mary Karr can tell it. Industry Reviews (11/13/2009) (11/08/2009) (11/08/2009) (08/01/2009) (11/15/2009) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
