I am addicted to memoirs - I don't know if you knew that - and I love, love, memoirs that center around two main themes - death and addiction. Lit by Mary Karr is "about getting drunk and getting sober; becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; learning to write by learning to live. Written with Karr's relentless honestly, unflinching self-scrutiny, and irreverent, lacerating humor, it is a truly electrifying story of how to grow up - as only Mary Karr can tell it."
This was so well written - her words, her thoughts are so fluid and crisp - I felt like I was watching a movie in my mind as my eyes consumed her words. Honest and open doesn't even begin to touch on the heart and soul that Karr bares to us in this novel.
I highly recommend this read.
