This is the first memoir of poet and critic Mary Karr who also wrote another memoir "Cherry." While The Liars' Club" is viewed through the eyes of a child, “Cherry” is viewed through the eyes of a teenager and her distinctive transformation as an adolescent in a decidedly traditional blue-collar town.
Stephen King wrote this in his own half biography half teaching how to write a book “On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft” about The Liars’ Club: ”It’s stunning not just by it’s ferocity, it’s beauty and by her delightful grasp of the vernacular but it’s totality. Marry Karr presents her childhood in an almost unbroken panorama. She is a woman remember everything about her early childhood.”
Mary Karr tells us her story of dysfunctional family with refreshing humor, grace and poetry. A family with an amusing and sometimes shocking history. When things veering out of control only to be made sane again by the strength of Daddy. Although her anger is evident, it's not the main focus of the memoir nor is there the ever-pervasive feeling of self-pity that is found in similar books. The story is never without feeling, her descriptions are lush and poetic.
This is the second memoir that made me cry at work and touched me in a way that made it almost painful to read at times but at the same time it's amazingly brilliant and funny as Angela's Ashes by Frank Mc Court.
