Lit is Mary Karr's unforgettable memoir about the tumultuous journey from addiction to sobriety. As a self-proclaimed blackbelt sinner, Karr delves into her descent into the inferno of alcoholism and madness, and her astonishing resurrection.

This compelling narrative is not just about getting drunk and getting sober; it is about becoming a mother by letting go of a mother, and learning to write by learning to live. With relentless honesty, unflinching self-scrutiny, and irreverent, lacerating humor, Karr offers an electrifying story of personal growth.

Lit reminds us of the power of personal stories, transforming them into the highest art. It's a master class on the art of the memoir and a vivid portrayal of what it means to be a woman in America.
