The Liars Club by Mary Karr

The Liars’ Club took the world by storm and raised the art of the memoir to an entirely new level, bringing about a dramatic revival of the form. Karr’s comic childhood in an east Texas oil town brings us characters as darkly hilarious as any of J. D. Salinger’s—a hard-drinking daddy, a sister who can talk down the sheriff at age twelve, and an oft-married mother whose accumulated secrets threaten to destroy them all. This unsentimental and profoundly moving account of an apocalyptic childhood is as “funny, lively, and un-put-downable” (USA Today) today as it ever was.

A Quick Note on No-Shows:
We understand that plans can change, but not showing up without updating your RSVP is problematic. Even if it’s right before the meeting starts, please take a moment to update your RSVP or leave a quick note if you can't make it. It helps us start on time and avoid unnecessary delays.
Going forward, I may need to remove members who repeatedly miss meetings without notice, as it affects the group experience for everyone. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!
