Mary Karr's The Liars' Club

     This semester we discussed different types of "the visual." Pieces of artwork including paintings and photographs were among many discussions. There are many types of the visual depending how you look at it. I wanted to go a different route this blog with a visual we didn't really talk about.
     I feel books can be a visual because the paint a pictures through words. I recently read the book The Liars' Club by Mary Karr. It is one of the most moving books I have read because she paints scenes with her words. She creates visuals by word choices that puts the reader in the scene as its happening. The Liars' Club is the first of a series of three books. I am looking forward to reading the next two: Cherry and Lit.
