Karr's comic childhood in an east Texas oil town brings us characters as darkly hilarious as any of J. D. Salinger's--a hard-drinking daddy, a sister who can talk down the sheriff at age twelve, and an oft-married mother whose accumulated secrets threaten to destroy them all. This unsentimental and profoundly moving account of an apocalyptic childhood is as "funny, lively, and un-put-downable" (u003ciu003eUSA Todayu003c/iu003e) today as it ever was. u003cpu003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
