"Riveting."--"Redbook Magazine"

"Mary Karr sparked a memoir revival with "The Liars' Club"--now she's back with "Lit" to describe how she turned those early troubles into literary gold."--"Body + Soul"

"An absolute gem that secures Karr's place as one of the best memoirists of her generation. . . . [She] writes with a singular combination of poetic grace and Texan verve."--"Kirkus Reviews," starred review

"[Karr's] poetic sensibility infuses every sentence of her story with an alliterative and symbolic energy, conjuring echoes of poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, and occasionally, Sylvia Plath."--"Publishers Weekly"

"Her tale is riveting, her style clear-eyed and frank. That Karr survived the emotional and physical journey she regales her readers with to become the evenhanded, self-disciplined writer she is today is arguably nothing short of a miracle, and readers of her previous two books won't be disappointed."--"Library Journal"
