The Liars’ Club

by Mary Karr (also rec’d by Amy Tan )

If any memoirist in this country tells you they haven’t been influenced by The Liars’ Club , they are either lying or uninformed. The genius of Karr’s memoir is that it’s really not about her, but about her parents, told with love and innocence while fearlessly illustrating their faults.
