About this product

Product Information

#4 on The New York Times ' list of The 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years The New York Times bestselling, hilarious tale of a hardscrabble Texas childhood that Oprah.com calls the best memoir of a generation "Wickedly funny and always movingly illuminating, thanks to kick-ass storytelling and a poet ' s ear." --Oprah.com The Liars' Club took the world by storm and raised the art of the memoir to an entirely new level, bringing about a dramatic revival of the form. Karr's comic childhood in an east Texas oil town brings us characters as darkly hilarious as any of J. D. Salinger's--a hard-drinking daddy, a sister who can talk down the sheriff at age twelve, and an oft-married mother whose accumulated secrets threaten to destroy them all. This unsentimental and profoundly moving account of an apocalyptic childhood is as "funny, lively, and un-put-downable" ( USA Today ) today as it ever was.

"The essential American story ... a beauty." - Jonathan Yardley , The Washington Post Book World "Astonishing ... one of the most dazzling and moving memoirs to come along in years." - Michiko Kakutani , The New York Times "This book is so good I thought about sending it out for a backup opinion...it''s like finding Beethoven in Hoboken. To have a poet''s precision of language and a poet''s insight into people applied to one of the roughest, toughest, ugliest places in America is an astonishing event." - Molly Ivins , The Nation "9mm humor, gothic wit, and a stunning clarity of memory within a poet''s vision.... Karr''s unerring scrutiny of her childhood delivers a story confoundingly real." - The Boston Sunday Globe "Overflows with sparkling wit and humor....

Arrived on time. In pretty good condition, but it was a bit more dog eared and had more writing in it than I would have liked.

    The Liar's Club

    I decided to read this book along with several others after seeing it on a list of favorite books of the last 20 years. I've enjoyed it very much. I was drawn to the story as it is similar to mine in many ways...it does take me back. Great story. Tough kids with a horrific childhood, but one that many seem to suffer through. There is lots of humor to break up the horror so that it doesn't engulf the reader. No one could make this stuff up!

    Worth Reading

    I bought this book cause the description of what it was about sounded very good. It was a very interesting read but it wasn't one that kept my attention.But good enough to keep me reading. Parts were very boring. Mary writes about her childhood and in the end, her early adulthood. I loved her honesty. Though it wasn't as good as I had hoped, I'm glad I read it.
