Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n Credited with sparking the current memoir explosion, Mary Karr\u2019s The Liars\u2019 Club<\/em> spent more than a year at the top of the New York Times list. She followed with two other smash bestsellers: Cherry<\/em> and Lit<\/em>, which were critical hits as well.<\/p>\n For thirty years Karr has also taught the form, winning graduate teaching prizes for her highly selective seminar at Syracuse, where she mentored such future hit authors as Cheryl Strayed, Keith Gessen, and Koren Zailckas. In The Art of Memoir<\/em>, she synthesizes her expertise as professor and therapy patient, writer and spiritual seeker, recovered alcoholic and \u201cblack belt sinner,\u201d providing a unique window into the mechanics and art of the form that is as irreverent, insightful, and entertaining as her own work in the genre.<\/p>\n Anchored by excerpts from her favorite memoirs and anecdotes from fellow writers\u2019 experience, The Art of Memoir<\/em> lays bare Karr\u2019s own process. (Plus all those inside stories about how she dealt with family and friends get told\u2014 and the dark spaces in her own skull probed in depth.) As she breaks down the key elements of great literary memoir, she breaks open our concepts of memory and identity, and illuminates the cathartic power of reflecting on the past, anybody with an inner life or complicated history, whether writer or reader, will relate.<\/p>\n Joining such classics as Stephen King\u2019s On Writing<\/em> and Anne Lamott\u2019s Bird by Bird, The Art of Memoir<\/em> is an elegant and accessible exploration of one of today\u2019s most popular literary forms\u2014a tour de force from an accomplished master pulling back the curtain on her craft..
