Lit : A Memoir: A Memoir – An Electrifying Story of Sobriety, Motherhood, and Learning to Write with Unflinching Honesty (P.S. Book 3)

<p>Mary Karr’s bestselling, unforgettable sequel to her beloved memoirs <em>The Liars’ Club</em> and <em>Cherry</em>—and one of the most critically acclaimed books of the year—<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. </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” in its Top 10 Books of 2009 Citation. Michiko Kakutani calls it “a book that lassos you, hogties your emotions and won’t let you go” in her <em>New York Times</em> review. 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><p>In addition to the <em>New York Times</em>, <em>Lit</em> was named a Best Book of 2009 by the <em>New Yorker</em> (Reviewer Favorite), <em>Entertainment Weekly</em> (Top 10), <em>Time</em> (Top 10), the <em>Washington Post</em>, the <em>San Francisco Chronicle</em>, the <em>Chicago Tribune</em>, the <em>Christian Science Monitor, Slate</em>, the <em>St. Louis Post Dispatch</em>, the <em>Cleveland Plain Dealer</em>, and the <em>Seattle Times. </em></p>
