Lit

<p>Mary Karr's bestselling unforgettable sequel to her beloved memoirs <em>The Liars' Club</em> and <em>Cherry</em>--and one of the most critically acclaimed books of the year--<em>Lit</em> is about getting drunk and getting sober; becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; learning to write by learning to live. </p><p><em>The Boston Globe</em> calls <em>Lit</em> a book that reminds us not only how compelling personal stories can be but how in the hands of a master they can transmute into the highest art. <em>The New York Times Book Review</em> calls it a master class on the art of the memoir in its Top 10 Books of 2009 Citation. Michiko Kakutani calls it a book that lassos you hogties your emotions and won't let you go in her <em>New York Times</em> review. And Susan Cheever states simply that <em>Lit</em> is the best book about being a woman in America I have read in years. </p><p>In addition to the <em>New York Times</em> <em>Lit</em> was named a Best Book of 2009 by the <em>New Yorker</em> (Reviewer Favorite) <em>Entertainment Weekly</em> (Top 10) <em>Time</em> (Top 10) the <em>Washington Post</em> the <em>San Francisco Chronicle</em> the <em>Chicago Tribune</em> the <em>Christian Science Monitor Slate</em> the <em>St. Louis Post Dispatch</em> the <em>Cleveland Plain Dealer</em> and the <em>Seattle Times. </em></p>
