@TerryGross laughs so hard she snorts during this interview with Mary Karr, discussing her new book Lit.
So it’s the Boston Ritz. We’re having a rehearsal dinner. I’m lying with my neck arched up in a sink and I smell marijuana in this beauty salon where I’d taken her to get her hair done, and I think: mother. I mean, I think: mother. And sure enough, my mother gets gunched out of her mind with her hairdresser in the alley, smoking pot, gets her hair jacked up like a transvestite.
(Laughter)
Ms. KARR: Really, it looked like a big topiary, and then - and then at the actual dinner says to my father-in-law that she’ll paint him in the nude and fix anything he needed fixed.
Really terrific.
