Incredible memoir of a turbulent childhood, fascinating and compelling, hilarious and sad, a true masterpiece. I read this after reading "Lit," so I went out of order, but it made no difference in terms of reader enjoyment. Made me appreciate my relatively normal upbringing, but left me longing to know some of the real-life characters Mary Karr describes in the book. Karr redefines "family" in this memoir.
