She talks like a normal person in this interview. In Lit she writes with the voice of a gold prospector.
What a great interviewer, such pertinent questions and so perfectly and seamlessly tied into the conversation. A true master indeed. Just love love love Mar Karr! 🤗🤗
What a great interview!
"What's hard to write about is being hopeful." Hoo boy, you said it Mary!
Fabulous interview. Mary Karr is authentic, wise, and incredibly funny.
I love this woman.
what a wonderfully transparent person
She quotes David Wallace at
"Poetry is Eucharistic. You take somebody else's suffering, their passion, into your body, and you are changed by it, you are transformed by it, you are made more tender, or more human, or you're more alive to your fellow human beings." What does it say about me (by extension, all Catholics), that it takes a metaphor about poetry to give an effective, vibrant witness to the Eucharist?
So fabulous..... who could not love her?
Her humor is the best :-)
I think Mary Karr is funny and a great memoirist! She is tough as nails too.
I came here because i found a notebook that has been written in by someone named Brian Kronberg if anyone knows anything about this person or this name please tell me
Wonderful.
Interviewer looks like an older Benedict Cumberbatch.
she is so fucking funny oh my god
Mary Karr is an enchanting writer -- the interview reflects her small but persistent depseration to highlight her fascination with religion and the good life she is suipposedly enjoying in her present fascinaton with what she calls her image of a 'bolt-throwing-cigar-smoking god.'
