Mary Karr's Magic: How The Art of Memoir Unlocked My Soul

Her raw honesty unlocked the gate to my past, which had for so long been rusted shut within me. Not only could I start to heal myself, but maybe I could help others who went through similar situations as me. I felt invigorated, reborn.

Mary Karr, MaryKarr, MaryKarr MaryKarrMary—yes, yes, I might’ve mentioned her name once or twelve hundred times before. A gem I rediscovered recently; this is the dedication or acknowledgements page for one of my earliest official “books” that I wrote and printed when I was 10 years old. I talk about my undying love for this author incessantly, even writing a blog post ostensibly about this…

Maybe you can loan me some of the shine in your young head to clear up my leftover dark spaces

I’ve heard about #marykarr for years and how good her books are and I’m glad I finally took the time to read one. #lit is a beautiful book. I hope to have the courage to write a #memoir like this one day, but for now I’m grateful for books like this that remind me that I’m human and to stop pressuring myself to be more than I am. #readthisbook #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #bookgeek #readmorebooks #bookworm #reading #booknerd #read #bookish #bibliophile #bookaddict #audiobooks #bookaholic #bibliotherapy #audiobookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CSMyGFNLzjk/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the interview I watched today. God, I could watch and listen to her talk forever. I love how she speaks and her intonations.

Alex: "I'm the crowdsourceress. The name was given to me for my expertise in crowdfunding. It's thrilling to help someone make something that's their life's work and that they've been dreaming about for forever. Raising money is a celebration. I made this book so you can carry it around, take notes in it, and launch your idea. Which book inspires me? There's something about Mary Karr, who is such a powerful women. Everything she says punches you in the face in the most beautiful way possible. I respect a woman who carries herself with such boldness. I hope more women launch their ideas and take matters into their own hands." @alexdaly__ #lit #marykarr #thecrowdsourceress / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at Canal Street)

“Each great memoir lives or dies based 100 percent on voice. It’s the delivery system for the author’s experience—the big bandwidth cable that carries in lustrous clarity every pixel of someone’s inner and outer experiences. Each voice is cleverly fashioned to highlight a writer’s individual talent or way of viewing the world. A memoirist starts off fumbling—jotting down facts, recounting anecdotes. It may take a writer hundreds of rough trial pages for a way of speaking to start to emerge unique to himself and his experience, but when he does, both carnal and interior experiences come back with clarity, and the work gains an electrical charge. For the reader, the voice has to exist from the first sentence.”

~ Mary Karr

That’s the story I want to tell: how I started getting drunk. How being drunk got increasingly hard, and being not drunk felt impossible. In Odyssean terms, I wanted to be a hero, but wound up—as Mother did—a monster.

Because of you, I couldn’t die and I couldn’t monster myself, either. So you were the agent of my rescue—not a good job for somebody barely three feet tall.

"I've heard it said that caring for an invalid is like caring for a baby. And I suppose it's the same basic deal, but a baby rewards you each day with change, sprouting a tooth or discovering that the object randomly waggling before its eyes is, in fact, its own hand. But an invalid is a hole you pour yourself into. Every day he fixes you with a glance more gnawed-oit tired than yours, more hurt. If life is suffering (as the Buddha says), some endless shit-eating contest, then the invalid always wins, hands down." #marykarr #theliarsclub #bookclub #whatimreading #bookstagram #igreads #bibliophile #mustlovebooks
