Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Riveting."--Redbook Magazine

"Mary Karr sparked a memoir revival with The Liars' Club-now she's back with Lit to describe how she turned those early troubles into literary gold."--Body + Soul

"A brutally honest, sparkling story."--Glamour

"Mary Karr restores memoir form's dignity with "Lit.""--"Vanity Fair"

"Irresistible. . . . [Written] with trademark wit, precision, and unfailing courage."--Pam Houston, "O Magazine"

"Riveting."--"Redbook Magazine"

"Mary Karr sparked a memoir revival with "The Liars' Club"--now she's back with "Lit" to describe how she turned those early troubles into literary gold."--"Body + Soul"

"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

"[Karr's] poetic sensibility infuses every sentence of her story with an alliterative and symbolic energy, conjuring echoes of poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, and occasionally, Sylvia Plath."--"Publishers Weekly"

"Her tale is riveting, her style clear-eyed and frank. That Karr survived the emotional and physical journey she regales her readers with to become the evenhanded, self-disciplined writer she is today is arguably nothing short of a miracle, and readers of her previous two books won't be disappointed."--"Library Journal"

Reseña del editor:

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.
