#4 on The New York Times' list of The 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years
The New York Times bestselling, hilarious tale of a hardscrabble Texas childhood
that Oprah.com calls the best memoir of a generation
"Wickedly funny and always movingly illuminating, thanks to kick-ass
storytelling and a poet's ear." -Oprah.com
The Liars' Club 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 "funny, lively, and un-put-downable" (USA
Today ) today as it ever was.
