The Liars? Club: A Memoir Reviews 
Prizewinning poet and critic Mary Karr stretches the boundaries of memoir as she conjures up the terrors and joys of growing up in a swampy East Texas refinery town, at the epicenter of a family full of passionate, volatile attachments. 4 cassettes.In this funny, razor-edged memoir, Mary Karr, a prize-winning poet and critic, looks back at her upbringing in a swampy East Texas refinery town with a volatile, defiantly loving family. She recalls her painter mother, seven times married, whose outlaw spirit could tip into psychosis; a fist-swinging father who spun tales with his cronies?dubbed the Liars? Club; and a neighborhood rape when she was eight. An inheritance was squandered, endless bottles emptied, and guns leveled at the deserving and undeserving. With a raw authenticity stripped of self-pity and a poet?s eye for the lyrical detail, Karr shows us a ?terrific family of liars and drunks ? redeemed by a slow unearthing of truth.? (More?)
