Cherry
A Nonfiction, Memoir, Biography book. KIDS IN DISTRESSED FAMILIES ARE GREAT repositories of silence and carry...
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).

More About Cherry
No road offers more mystery than that first one you mount from the town you were born to, the first time you mount it of your own volition, on a trip funded by your own coffee tin of wrinkled up dollars - bills you've saved and scrounged for, worked the all-night switchboard for, missed the Rolling Stones for, sold fragrant pot with smashed flowers going brown inside twist-tie plastic baggies for. In fact, to disembark from your origins, you've done everything you can think to scrounge money save selling your spanking young pussy. Mary Karr, Cherry //... The words and sentences you take into your body from books are no less sacred and healing than communion. Surely at least one such person lives in your zip code. Mary Karr, Cherry // The trick in that town was getting through a night at all without stalling in the sludge of your own thoughts. Mary Karr, Cherry //
I approached Cherry under the impression that it was the lesser of Karr's memoirs - word of mouth and general internet criticism had led me to believe that it didn't have the power of The Liar's Club . But by page 25 of this book I was already convinced that Cherry is actually the more complex and ambitious of the two books. Alternating... I went back and forth deciding between 2 or 3 stars rating. Ultimately, it's a low 2.5. I read her first book, The Liar's Club, last year and gobbled it up. It was so well written. Cherry was strangely written. Beautifully so, in many ways, poetic and lyrical. Not surprising, as she's also published several books of poetry. There's... I'l pretty much read anything Mary Karr writes. Just re-read The Liar's Club. Read Lit and Cherry for the first time each. Been on a Mary Karr roll.
