Mary Karr
Mary Karr (1955– ) is an American poet and memoirist. She received attention for her first memoir The Liars’ Club in 1995, which she followed up with two more memoirs, Cherry (2000) and Lit (2009).
Karr is an unsentimental realist whose capacity for pleasure and praise is all the more convincing for her clear-eyed view of contingency.—Jonathan Aaron, Harvard Book Review
