The Liars' Club by

Mary Karr

Reviews

"Astonishing . . . one of the most dazzling and moving memoirs to come along in years . . . [Karr's] most powerful tool is her language, which she wields with the virtuosity of both a lyric poet and an earthy, down-home Texan. It's a wonderfully unsentimental vision"

New York Times

Summary

A 20th-anniversary edition of Mary Karr's pathbreaking, award-winning, mega-bestselling memoir, featuring a new foreword by Lena Dunham. 

When it was first published twenty years ago, 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.

Now with a new foreword by Lena Dunham, a creative game changer in her own right, 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.

A Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe Edition.

“To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. To a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.”
