The Liars' Club: A Memoir

Esquire's 80 Books Every Person Should Read (80 books items)

"This book was a bestseller for a reason. One of the most brutal, elegant, and yes, funniest memoirs of the late 20th century, Mary Karr's The Liars Club is an important work that is at turns personal and political, the story of a Texas childhood marked by anguish, adventure, and a potent combination of toxic masculinity, alcoholism and thwarted artistic ambitions."
