Mary Karr’s best-selling memoir, The Liar’s Club, won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award. The sequel, Cherry, careens between hilarity and tragedy as Karr chronicles her stormy, ardent coming-of-age in, and subsequent escape from, Texas. A poet and essayist, she has won Pushcart prizes in both genres as well as the prestigious Whiting Award. She will read from Cherry.
