When it was published in 1995, Mary Karr's The Liars' Club took the world by storm and raised the art of the memoir to an entirely new level, as well as 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'sa hard-drinking daddy, a sister who can talk оегке down the sheriff at twelve, and an oft-married mother whose accumulated secrets threaten to destroy them all Now with a new introduction that discusses her memoir's impact on her family, 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.  Textrem2005 г Мягкая обложка, 352 стр ISBN 0143035746.
