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 (<i>USA Today</i>) today as it ever was.
