There's a line from a Mary Karr who wrote "Liars' Club", wrote about what she does with writer's block. And she says, "If I can't think about what to write, "I sit at my desk and I copy writers "I love in longhand because my fidelity at the desk "is to be writing, whether it's my own writing or not.
Adam Savage StarTalk Radio · Jun 2019 Why people recommend it
The Liars' Club by Mary Karr is a celebrated memoir that recounts the author's turbulent, vivid childhood in a Texas refinery town marked by eccentric family dynamics and dark secrets. On The Book Review, Saeed Jones mentioned Mary Karr's work as an important influence on his own writing process, noting that books like The Liars' Club have remained significant for years. John Williams also referenced Karr's memoir on the same podcast as a pivotal work in the evolution of the genre, an observation echoed by another speaker on the program. On StarTalk Radio, Adam Savage quoted Mary Karr's book to explain his own approach to overcoming writer's block, sharing that he follows Karr's advice to sit at his desk and copy authors he loves in longhand when he cannot think of what to write, maintaining his fidelity to the act of writing regardless of whether it is originally his own. Through these varied discussions, the memoir is frequently highlighted not only for its literary brilliance and gripping storytelling but also as a practical touchstone for creative discipline and inspiration among contemporary writers grappling with the challenges of artistic production.
