Mary Karr

Light Paperback (1 lb or less)

Texas

Credited with sparking the current memoir explosion, Mary Karr’s The Liars’ Club spent more than a year at the top of the New York Times list. She followed with two other smash bestsellers: Cherry and Lit, which were critical hits as well. For thirty years Karr has also taught the form, winning teaching prizes at Syracuse. (The writing program there produced such acclaimed authors as Cheryl Strayed, Keith Gessen, and Koren Zailckas.) In The Art of Memoir, she synthesizes her expertise as professor and therapy patient, writer and spiritual seeker, recovered alcoholic and “black belt sinner,” providing a unique window into the mechanics and art of the form that is as irreverent, insightful, and entertaining as her own work in the genre. Anchored by excerpts from her favorite memoirs and anecdotes from fellow writers’ experience, The Art of Memoir lays bare Karr’s own process. (Plus all those inside stories about how she dealt with family and friends get told— and the dark spaces in her own skull probed in depth.) As she breaks down the key elements of great literary memoir, she breaks open our concepts of memory and identity, and illuminates the cathartic power of reflecting on the past; anybody with an inner life or complicated history, whether writer or reader, will relate. Joining such classics as Stephen King’s On Writing and Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird, The Art of Memoir is an elegant and accessible exploration of one of today’s most popular literary forms—a tour de force from an accomplished master pulling back the curtain on her craft.

A Sneak Peek into 8 Weeks to SEALFIT

It begins with your arrival as a Navy SEAL BUD/S cadet. There's no time to dilly dally. You either do the first workout and commit to this training, or don't bother. Next day, you move on to another challenge completely different than what you'd expect. It's not the stuff for doubters, quitters, or complainers.
These 8 weeks will be hard. Mark will push your physical body to its limits and test your inner resolve. You'll be tempted to give up. But if you embrace the suck of the challenge, you'll begin to win. The stories and adventures Mark takes you on -- escaping battlefield danger, calming yourself when there's no way out, learning to trust your gut -- will tap into more power than you knew you had.

You'll begin to glimpse, and reach, your full potential. You'll develop the character that makes a Navy SEAL: discipline, drive, determination, self-mastery, honor, integrity, courage, and leadership. You'll thrive in a teamwork setting. You'll learn to laugh and not take your circumstances so seriously. You'll even know how to functionally train without equipment.

This is the ground-breaking training that increases SEALFIT athletes' overall endurance, work capacity, and toughness. Be someone special. Let's get started...
