Book

South of Broad (2009)

I couldn't overlook the strained timeline. I felt that the author had a story he wanted to tell but the plot required that the action begin in high school and that the characters needed to have a suicide and a mental breakdown ten years in the past. Since high school only lasts four years, Conroy...

My Reading Life (2000)

I really enjoyed this memoir and will probably listen to a few chapters again in the future. It’s part love letter to reading, part deconstruction of the writer as artist and also a rallying cry for the predominance of story. As he writes…'The writers who scoff at the idea of primacy of stories...

The Lords of Discipline (1997)

I'm a bit scared that I won't be able to describe how much I love this book and that I’ll screw up this review. Every time I have the same problem with Conroy. Every time when I finish reading ''him'' I have this properly deep ache. I get spoiled and I find myself measuring almost everything I’ve...

Book

Beach Music (2002)

I wanted to like Pat Conroy’s Beach Music. Really, I did. The opening paragraph (a stunning, lyrical evocation of a young woman’s suicide) drew me into the sprawling, eight hundred page tome. At first glance, the book seemed to have all the elements of a rip-roaring good yarn: betrayal, forgiven...

The Prince of Tides (2002)

A few days ago I came to my best friend's flat and while he was giving me joint which I passed, and while he was sorting his decks in Hearthstone, he told me that I was addicted to emotions and that this is the reason why I need turmoil books. I took that roughly and straight to the heart. I lay ...

My Losing Season: A Memoir (2003)

I could be the only person in the world whose first Pat Conroy book was his sports memoir My Losing Season instead of one of his better known novels like Lords of Discipline, The Great Santini or Beach Music. But Charleston, SC made me do it. I just enjoyed my first trip to this southern stunner,...

The Pat Conroy Cookbook (2004)

I can remember falling asleep as my Grandmother Stanny told me about safaris in Tanganyika, belly dancers in Lebanon, and the illegal ivory markets of Hong Kong. My mother, who was no stranger to wildlife, collected poisonous snakes and once told me that a copperhead I caught her for Mother’s Day...
