The Liars' Club: A Memoir

The Liars' Club: A Memoir

#4 onÂ The New York Times' list of The 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years

TheÂ New York TimesÂ bestselling, hilarious tale of a hardscrabble Texas childhood that Oprah.com calls the best memoir of a generation

â€œWickedly funny and always movingly illuminating, thanks to kick-ass storytelling and a poet's ear." -Oprah.com

The Liars' 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. 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 â€œfunny, lively, and un-put-downable" (USA Today)Â today as it ever was.
