7pm, Brookline Booksmith
Mary Karr

Mary Karr visits the Booksmith to read from her first memoir in over ten years. Where The Liar’s Club brought to life Karr’s terrifying Texas childhood and Cherry her sexual awakening, Lit lets us know how she made it out alive. Told with Karr’s signature poetic language and wit, Lit is well worth the wait.

6 p.m. BPL Orientation Room, Central Library

From the author of the critically acclaimed In Black and White: The Life of Sammy Davis, Jr., comes Sweet Thunder, another illuminating narrative in which Haygood explores one of the 20th-century’s most iconic figures of boxing, Sugar Ray Robinson. Part of our Fall Author Series.
