Book Description: Book Condition: New. Ships From Canada. New in new dust jacket. Glued binding. Paper over boards. With dust jacket. 276 p. Audience: General/trade. From Booklist The child of The Liars' Club (1995) recaptures her teenage years, starting with her leaving home at 17 in 1972, taking off from her tiny Texas town with a handful of boys and a beat-up truck heading for Los Angeles. That prologue then spirals back to earlier days in high school. Mary is dazed and confused by her lethargy in the face of her friends' needs and by her own inchoate desires, usually drowned in cheap drugs and kisses. Her friends Clarice and Meredith have heft and breadth on these pages, more so than the boys who wander through, but the true landscape is not that of friendship or lust or even Texas; it's the landscape of Mary's own thoughts. The plodding dullness of adolescent existence is punctuated by slivers and flashes of blinding illumination--indeed, Karr uses metaphors of light like carving knives. The fevered need of teens to do.

The plodding dullness of adolescent existence is punctuated by slivers and flashes of blinding illumination--indeed, Karr uses metaphors of light like carving knives. The fevered need of teens to do things that are bad for them, over and over, lies twinned at the heart of this fiercely recalled memoir, alongside a slippery, cloudy, thick delineation of desire. Few people have written so luxuriantly about kissing as Karr, or what kissing could be and do all by itself. She allows us glimpses of what happened later to these people, in small doses, just enough to remind us what memory and time can do. GraceAnne DeCandido Copyright American Library Association.
