Publisher's Note
In this powerfully funny, razor's edge tale of a fractured girlhood, prize-winning poet and critic Mary Karr conjures up the terrors and joys of growing up in a swampy East Texas refinery town, at the epicenter of a family full of passionate, volatie attachments. In a voice stipped of self-pity, in language reinvented with a raw authenticity and brilliant energy, Karr shows readers a "terrific family of liars and drunks . . . redeemed by a slow unearthing of truth".

Industry Reviews
"Not the least of her assets in this quest is her haunting, often exquisite phrasing of states of being and qualities of mind that resonate long after a page is turned."
New York Times Book Review - Sheila Ballantyne (07/09/1995)

"Karr, a poet, writes in a captivating, anecdotal style....She's figured out a way to make every reader live through what no child should ever have to endure."
Newsweek - Karen Schoemer (08/07/1995)

"This is such a captivating book, at once hilarious and heartfelt, that you don't have to believe every word to love it....listen to the voice of a born storyteller."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Cyra McFadden (07/16/1995)

"'The Liar's Club' is a repository of the aromatic, the stinky, and the divine....It is Karr's uncompromising drive toward honesty, clarity, and the exposing of secrets that drives the book."
Voice Literary Supplement - Catherine Bowman (06/19/1995)

"The revelations continue to the final page, with a misleading carelessness as seductive as any world-class liar's."
Ballantyne

"THE LIAR'S CLUB is written by a master of poetically slangy prose, a language so alive and original it makes the telling of acutely painful experiences seem like child's play. You relax into a light adventure or innocent beauty, wholly unprepared for the sudden jolts of harrowing violence experienced by the tiny 'little Mary'. You cry at her dark loneliness, you rejoice at her humour and defiance. When you finish the last chapter, you quite simply celebrate her survival. The catharsis is so complete that it is easy to forget that after that childhood, life went on."
Independent (London) - Elena Lappin (06/22/2001)
