À propos de cet audio

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.

A poetic memoir of addiction and recovery but it's not ABOUT addiction and recovery. It's just a story, her story. A great story. A great writer. Karr writes about a famous program of recovery, without naming it, true to its traditions of anonymity. The special treat, that the Texan author narrates it, makes it worth a listen PLUS a read. I'd read it over a decade ago, and listening to it now, it's as if I'd skimmed over all of it. This book is for anyone who can read or listen.
