Breaking News: Random House / RosettaBooks Licensing Alliance The Water Is Wide The Lords of Discipline The Great Santini ... The Last Angry Man Pat Conroy Born: 10/26/1945 Atlanta Georgia USA Your browser is not Java capable or Java has been disabled. About the Author The novelist Pat Conroy's life and personal experience are so inextricably bound up with his writing that, at first glance, it might seem that he is merely retelling the story of his life, again and again. The truth is, as usual, far more complicated and interesting. Significant elements and characters in his novels are obviously drawn from his life, a choice that apparently has created tremendous tension in his family. But these facts are merely points of departure for the author, who has a gift that is perhaps the most desirable and elusive of all for any novelist the ability to spin an unforgettable story. Conroy was born in 1945 in Atlanta, the eldest of seven children and the son of Col. Donald Conroy, a man not unlike the hero of "The Great Santini." He attended The Citadel, the South Carolina military academy that inspired the setting for The Lords of Discipline, and briefly taught school on an island off the South Carolina coast, an experience recounted in The Water Is Wide. The fallout from his life with his family seems to have inspired Conroy to create deeply compelling stories of vivid characters searching for love and fulfillment. These tales are invariably rooted in the infernal complexities and often dark realities of Southern tradition, notably in The Lords of Discipline and The Prince of Tides. The death of his mother a crafty Southern woman who chose to be called Peggy, after the author of "Gone With the Wind" led him to write his most recent novel "Beach Music."

They note, as well, his remarkable ability to evoke feelings that many of us share. Whether it is the racism found in The Water is Wide , the tyranny of authority in The Great Santini , the coexistence of honor and brutality in The Lords of Discipline , or the cruelty and betrayal exposed in The Prince of Tides , Pat Conroy does not flinch from writing about the evils and harsh realities of life. Yet, despite a past that includes the most ruthless of personal experiences, his work resonates with an affirmation of life and a quest for the liberation of truth. As a writer, he has reached out to all of us and given a voice to the pain and hope that we share.

ISBN: 0-385-50808-5 Chapter One Before First Practice It was on the morning of October 15, 1966, that the final season officially began. For a month and a half, my teammates and I had gathered in the field house to lift weights, do isometric exercises, and scrimmage with each other. Right off, I could tell our sophomores were special and were going to make our team faster, scrappier, and better than the year before. In the heat of September, there was a swiftness and feistiness to the flow of these pickup games that was missing in last year's club. My optimism about the coming season lifted perceptibly as I observed my team beat up on each other in the vagrancy of our uncoached and unmonitored scrimmages. I could feel the adrenaline rush of excitement begin as I donned my cadet uniform in the dark, and it stayed with me as I marched to mess with R Company. I could barely concentrate on the professors' voices in my classes in Coward Hall as I faced the reality of the new season and stared at the clock with impatience. It was my fourth year at The Citadel and the fourth time October 15 had marked the beginning of basketball practice. Mel Thompson was famous for working his team hard on the first day and traditionally ran us so much that the first practice was topped off by one of us vomiting on the hardwood floor.

Talese/Doubleday, $27.95; 402 pp. HOW can you not love a book with a line like this: "I strutted, I roostered all over that court, cocky and in charge, knowing what to do and when to do it, posturing and urging my teammates to be more than themselves, to turn themselves into heroes for a night." That's Pat Conroy, best-selling author of The Great Santini and The Prince of Tides , writing about playing basketball his senior year at the Citadel, the historical military college in Charleston, S.C. At 5 feet 10, Conroy was, in his own words, "mediocre, a benchwarmer, a loser never a natural athlete, imprisoned in a body that had little business on a basketball court." But on that magic night back in the late 1960s he was hot, and so was his team, and they went on to a glorious win against the heavily favored Keydets of Virginia Military Academy. There were precious few magic nights for Conroy's Bulldogs during that 1966-67 season, however. Of the 24 games they played, they won only seven, as Conroy recounts in

My Losing Season By Pat Conroy Nan A. Talese, $27.95 416 pages, ISBN 0385489129 Send this review to a friend Read previous BookPage interviews Pat Conroy turns a wistful eye on a losing season INTERVIEW BY JAY LEE MACDONALD To the winners go the sports biographies; to the losers go the deathly quiet locker rooms, the self-flagellation, the proverbial kiss from your sister. As a result, we know a whole lot more about the thrill of victory than the agony of defeat. Pat Conroy didn't set out to rectify that inequity by writing My Losing Season , a painfully detailed memoir of his senior year on the 1966-67 Citadel Bulldogs basketball squad that soldiered through an ignominious 8-17 season. Call it a requiem for all the runners-up who, like Conroy, turned defeat on the playing field into victory in other aspects of their lives. As a fast, street-hardened 5-foot-10 point guard, Conroy was a fiery competitor who always believed he could play above his physical limitations and frequently did. Like his teammates, Conroy didn't lose well. Unlike the others, however, he found a way to learn something from each defeat that would make him a better ballplayer. His steely resolve in the face of such a spirit-crushing season ultimately gave him the self-confidence to become one of America's best-loved writers. If losing builds character, Pat Conroy is your poster boy for also-rans.

76. Pat Conroy -- The Bookshelf Online pat conroy (The Prince of Tides, The Great Santini, The Water isWide, The Lords of Discipline). Definitely not great literature http://www.gretchen.and.brett.com/bookshelf/conroy.html

Pat Conroy The Prince of Tides The Great Santini The ... The Lords of Discipline Definitely not great literature, but there are stories and characters that appeal. Conroy has been criticized for being too weak a writer, and it's true that he injects a certain wistful, almost romantic quality into scenes that should be hard-boiled. But the reader in me, and certainly the woman in me, sometimes appreciates that. The Prince of Tides is the longest and most complicated, and in my opinion the best. If the movie didn't do it for you, the book probably won't either they did a great job filming it but I recommend it for everyone else. Not being a big fan of the military, I found The Great Santini and The Lords of Discipline alternately irritating and satisfying (Conroy does not go to any great lengths to glorify Marines. What is it about men in large groups?) He does go to great lengths to study families, particularly families headed by violent men. The Water is Wide is Conroy's account of time spent on an impoverished island teaching school. The characterization is not as good as in his novels, and the story has its touches of melodrama, but on the whole it is an interesting and educational look at schools in poor areas.

Author of The Great Santini and The Prince of Tides P AT C ONROY December 12, 2002 (Thursday) 4:15 p.m. Seminar, Standish Room 8:00 p.m. Reading Page Hall UAlbany, Downtown Campus (photo credit: Judy Axenson) Pat Conroy is well known for using some bitter personal experiences as the basis for his work, which explores the jarring tensions, ironies, and humor of love-hate relationships in the contemporary South. Conroy's newest book, My Losing Season (October 2002), is a nonfiction account of Conroy's senior year on the basketball team at the Citadel, the South's famous bastion of military tradition. "There was a time in my life," Conroy writes at the beginning of the book, "when I walked through the world known to myself and others as an athlete. . .athletics provided the single outlet for a repressed and preternaturally shy boy to express himself in public." The Great Santini (1976), Conroy also continues to explore his relationship with his abusive father. The new book contains new revelations about their father-son relationship. Conroy completed My Losing Season just before his father's death from cancer and read it to him at his bedside. "My father said, 'I should have beaten you more, son'" Conroy relates, "I said, 'Dad, if you had beaten me much more, I'd be Shakespeare.'"
