My father comes into focus for me on a Liars Club afternoon. He sits at a wobbly card table weighed down by a bottle. Even now the scene seems so real to me that I cant but write it in the present tense.

Mary Karr grew up in a swampy East Texas refinery town in a volatile & defiantly loving family. In this funny, devastating, haunting memoir & with a raw & often painful honesty, she looks back at life with a painter mother, seven times married, whose outlaw spirit could tip over into psychosis, & a hard-drinking, fist-swinging father who liked nothing better than to spin tales with his cronies at the Liars Club.

When it was published in 1995, The Liars Club raised the art of memoir to a new level & brought about a dramatic revival of the form. It is a classic that paints a harsh world redeemed by Karrs warmth, intelligent humour & finely spun prose; The Liars Club is both heart-stopping & heart-felt.
