Mary Karrโs unforgettable sequel to her beloved and bestselling memoirsย The Liarsโ Clubย andย Cherryย โlassos you, hogties your emotions and wonโt let you goโ (Michiko Kakutani,ย 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 upโas only Mary Karr can tell it.
The Boston Globe calls Lit a book that โreminds 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 โa master class on the art of the memoirโ and Susan Cheever states, simply, that Lit is โthe best book about being a woman in America I have read in years.""
