In a powerfully funny, razor's edge recollection of a fractured childhood, Mary Karr, who grew up in a swampy East Texas refinery town, tells of being the epicenter of a family full of fierce, volatile attachments--a "terrific family of liars and drunks . . . redeemed by a slow unearthing of truth". Excerpted in Granta.

I didn't even finish reading this book. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't find it interesting or amusing.

Necessary
In my opinion this book was a tough read, but completely necessary to follow up with Mary Karr's sequel memoir "Cherry".

GREAT BOOK!
Great book - particularly meaningful for those of us who grew up in similar circumstances. In addition to meaningful story - the references to things I grew up with brought back many memories - the Breeze Inn, Cowboy John, shrimp remoulade at Al's Seafood . . . definitely a worthwhile read.
