The Liars' Club: A Memoir (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

The Liars' Club: A Memoir (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

The New York Times bestselling, hilarious tale of Mary Karrâ€™s hardscrabble Texas childhood that Oprah.com calls the best memoir of a generationâ€”now with a foreword by Lena Dunham in celebration of its twentieth anniversary.
Â
â€œWickedly funny and always movingly illuminating, thanks to kick-ass storytelling and a poet's ear.â€ â€“Oprah.com

The Liarsâ€™ ClubÂ 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. Karrâ€™s comic childhood in an east Texas oil town brings us characters as darkly hilarious as any of J. D. Salingerâ€™sâ€”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 â€œfunny, lively, and un-put-downableâ€ (USA Today)Â today as it ever was.
