 e New York Times bestseller list in 1995 and stayed there for more than a 
 year\, almost singlehandedly launching a revival of the memoir. Michiko Ka
 kutani of The New York Times called the book\, which won the PEN/Martha Al
 brand Award for First Nonfiction\, &ldquo\;astonishing&hellip\; one of the
  most dazzling and moving memoirs to come along in years.&rdquo\; The Liar
 s' Club\, a recounting of her apocalyptic childhood in the small East Texa
 s oilfield town of Leechfield\, was followed in 2000 by the sequel\, Cherr
 y\, a document of the high school years\, which USA Today calls &ldquo\;fu
 nny\, eloquent\, profane. . . no one tells stories like Karr.&rdquo\;\nShe
  has also written three books of poetry and her soon-to-be-published third
  volume of recollections\, Lit: A Memoir\, from which she will read. Lit c
 hronicles her life as an adult and mother\, as well as her time in &ldquo\
 ;The Mental Marriott&rdquo\;&mdash\;a loony bin so famous one Harvard grad
  suggested putting it on her resume.\nKarr is the Peck Professor of Englis
 h Literature at Syracuse University and has won Pushcart Prizes for both h
 er poetry and essays\; her poems frequently appear in The New Yorker.\nDav
