<p><strong>A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR </strong></p><p><strong><em>New York Times Book Review</em> -<em> The New Yorker</em> -<em> Entertainment Weekly</em> -<em> Time </em>-<em> Washington Post</em> -<em> San Francisco Chronicle</em> -<em> Chicago Tribune</em> -<em> Christian Science Monitor</em> -<em> Slate</em> -<em> St. Louise Post-Dispatch</em> -<em> Cleveland Plain Dealer </em>-<em> Seattle Times</em> - NBCC Award Finalist</strong></p><p><strong>Mary Karr's unforgettable sequel to her beloved and bestselling memoirs <em>The Liars' Club</em> and <em>Cherry</em> lassos you hogties your emotions and won't let you go (Michiko Kakutani <em>New York Times</em>).</strong></p><p><em>Lit</em> 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.</p><p><em>The Boston Globe</em> calls <em>Lit</em> a book that 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. <em>The New York Times Book Review</em> calls it a master class on the art of the memoir and Susan Cheever states simply that <em>Lit</em> is the best book about being a woman in America I have read in years.</p>
