«Iluminada» (Lit) is Mary Karr's autobiographical memoir, published by Periférica & Errata naturae in paperback (584 pages, in Spanish).
Mary Karr recounts her youth and early adulthood: childhood in Texas in an unconventional family, alcoholism, depression, marriage and motherhood. Literature, faith and the support of others who have been through the same become paths to salvation; the author examines herself with relentless honesty and irreverent humor.
The original work, «Lit», was published in 2009; this Spanish edition is the first, co-published by Periférica and Errata naturae, with a translation by Regina López Muñoz (no. 7 in the collection).
For readers of memoirs and autobiography, especially those seeking accounts of addiction, mental health and motherhood with humor and without self-pity.
Mary Karr is an American poet, essayist and memoirist from East Texas. She is widely noted for her 1995 bestselling memoir The Liars' Club. Karr is the Jesse Truesdell Peck Professor of English Literature at Syracuse University.
