Colfax Avenue: Award-winning poet and memoirist Mary Karr will read from and sign her new memoir Lit ($25.99 HarperCollins), the long-awaited sequel to her New York Times bestselling memoirs The Liars’ Club and Cherry. In her new book, Karr chronicles her descent into the inferno of alcoholism and madness, and her astonishing resurrection. A recollection of her struggle to come to terms with her Christian faith after years as an agnostic, Lit explores the relationship between spirituality and substance abuse and depression. It is also about getting drunk and getting sober; becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; and learning to write by learning to live.
