Cherry by Mary Karr
From Mary Karr comes this gorgeously written, often hilarious story of her tumultuous teens and sexual coming-of-age. Picking up where the bestselling The Liars' Club left off, Karr dashes down the trail of her teen years with customary sass, only to run up against the paralyzing self-doubt of a girl in bloom. Fleeing the thrills and terrors of adolescence, she clashes against authority in all its forms and hooks up with an unforgettable band of heads and bona-fide geniuses. Parts of Cherry will leave you gasping with laughter. Karr assembles a self from the smokiest beginnings, delivering a long-awaited sequel that is both bawdy and wise (San Francisco Chronicle).The Liars' Club, a New York Times bestseller for nearly a year, was named a best book of the year by The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, People, and Time, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and received prizes from PEN and the Texas Institute of Letters. Karr has been a Guggenheim Fellow in poetry and has received the Whiting Award, Radcliffe Bunting Fellowship, and Pushcart Awards for both verse and essays. Her other best-selling novels include The Art of Memoir, Lit and Cherry, and Sinners Welcome, as well as Viper Rum, The Devil's Tour, and Abacus, a poetry collection. Karr lives in New York City and is the Peck Professor of Literature at Syracuse University.
