Sinopsis

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR New York Times Book Review - The New Yorker - Entertainment Weekly - Time Washington Post - San Francisco Chronicle - Chicago Tribune - Christian Science Monitor Slate - St. Louis Post-Dispatch - Cleveland Plain Dealer - Seattle Times - NBCC Award Finalist Lit is about getting drunk and getting sober, becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; learning to write by learning to live. Written with Karr's relentless honesty, unflinching self-scrutiny, and irreverent, lacerating humor, it is a truly electrifying story of how to grow up.
