The Liar's Club, by Mary Karr; Penguin pub.
A memoir of Mary Karr's childhood that is both calamitous and droll in a backwater Texas town. Her taciturn father and colorful much-married mother are unique characters. Her stoical sister, Leica, is a forty year old woman in a child's body. If you read The Liar's Club, you must also read Cherry, her sequel.
