Read by Mary Karr.
Description
"Lit" follows Mary Karr's descent into the inferno of alcoholism and madness and her astonishing resurrection. Karr's longing for a solid family seems secure when her marriage to a handsome, Shakespeare quoting poet produces a son they adore. But she can't outrun her apocalyptic past. She drinks herself into the same numbness that nearly devoured her charismatic but troubled mother, reaching the brink of suicide. A hair raising stint in "The Mental Marriott" awakens her to the possibility of joy, and leads her to an unlikely faith. "Lit" is about getting drunk and getting sober; becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; learning to write by learning to live. It is a truly electrifying story of how to grow up as only Mary Karr can tell it.
