Memoir Giantess Mary Karr at Brookline Booksmith

September 6, 2016 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Brookline Booksmith is pleased to welcome poet/memoirist/literary super star Mary Karr.

Credited with sparking the current memoir explosion, Mary Karr’s The Liars’ Club spent more than a year at the top of The New York Times bestseller list. In The Art of Memoir, she synthesizes her expertise as professor and therapy patient, writer and spiritual seeker, recovered alcoholic and “black belt sinner,” providing a unique window into the mechanics and art of the form that is as entertaining as her own work in the genre.
