Extractions: Hardcover - 224 pages (September 2000) Available on Cassette! When critics assess the works of best-selling author Pat Conroy , they inevitably note his ability to explore the great themes of life - the struggle for equality and justice, the value of intellectual freedom, and the necessity for individual autonomy. 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.

Extractions: Pat Conroy was born on October 26, 1945, in Atlanta, Georgia, to a young career military officer from Chicago and a Southern beauty from Alabama, whom Pat often credits for his love of language. He was the first of seven children. His father was a violent and abusive man, a man whose biggest mistake, Conroy once said, was allowing a novelist to grow up in his home, a novelist who remembered every single violent actmy fathers violence is the central fact of my art and my life. Since the family had to move many times to different military bases around the South, Pat changed schools frequently, finally attending the Citadel Military Academy in Charleston, South Carolina, upon his fathers insistence. While still a student, he wrote and then published his first book, The Boo a tribute to a beloved teacher. After graduation, Conroy taught English in Beaufort, where he met and married a young woman with two children, a widow of the Vietnam War. He then accepted a job teaching underprivileged children in a one-room schoolhouse on Daufuskie Island, a remote island off the South Carolina shore. After a year, Pat was fired for his unconventional teaching practicessuch as his unwillingness to allow corporal punishment of his studentsand for his general lack of respect for the schools administration. Conroy evened the score when he exposed the racism and appalling conditions his students endured with the publication of

Extractions: An intensely personal account of the season of '67 when Pat Conroy played basketball at the Citadel, the military college in Charleston, South Carolina, My Losing Season is no ordinary sporting memoir.

Pat Conroy's `Beach Music' Is Powerful But Ponderous (8-11-1995)
August 11, 1995. pat conroy's `Beach Music' is powerful but ponderous Beach Music" by pat conroy (628 pages, Doubleday, $27.50
http://www.jewishsf.com/bk950811/etbeach.htm

Extractions: August 11, 1995 MATTHEW BUDMAN Bulletin Correspondent Remember how the narrator of "The Prince of Tides decides to leave his lover, a Jewish psychiatrist in New York named Susan Lowenstein, and return to his Southern wife? One reason the book's conclusion may not ring quite true is that, in real life, Conroy did leave his wife for Lowenstein's real-life equivalent. Since then, it seems, Conroy a South Carolina Catholic has remained fascinated by things Jewish, an interest that brings a certain depth to his new novel, "Beach Music." As in his 1980 novel "The Lords of Discipline," the Vietnam War looms ominously, but so does the Holocaust. The author was in the Bay Area recently to discuss "Beach Music" at a CenterStage production at the Marin Jewish Community Center's Swig Field. In a way, cracking open a new Conroy novel is like sitting down to watch a new Woody Allen film. Each time, Allen gives his character a new name, job, relationship, plot...and yet he's still the same bespectacled Jewish New York egghead. Similarly, Conroy's protagonists vary in age and heightand little else. In his first two books, both nonfiction, he introduced us to a prickly South Carolina liberal with a drawerful of ready quips, a combative edge, and dynamic and troubled friends and relatives. After 1972's dazzling "The Water Is Wide," he switched to fiction, but this likable son of the South has remained at the center of his books, instantly recognizable, a scarred man who uses "laughter as both a weapon and a vaccine."

Bookreporter.com - MY LOSING SEASON By Pat Conroy
MY LOSING SEASON pat conroy Nan A. Talese Memoir ISBN 0385489129. Read an Excerpt. This was the only type of sports book pat conroy could write.
http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/0385489129.asp

Extractions: It is also the only memoir that deals directly with the true story - step by step, game by game - of an NCAA Division I basketball team that won a mere eight games (out of 25). This is counterintuitive for a sports book. You see, we are supposed to remember those athletes and teams that never lose, the Knute Rocknes, not the Bill Buckners. Yet both examples offer powerful stories. In a moment of kismet while on the book tour for BEACH MUSIC, Conroy reconnected with his former teammate John DeBrosse. They found themselves replaying the minutiae of a loss on a basketball court 30 years ago. Both men were marked by that losing season. This encounter served as catalyst to search for meaning from this lost season. Conroy devoted two years to pouring through old newspaper clips, interviewing former teammates and diving into his own memories to reignite the fires of regret and disappointment. He recalls that the best memories his teammates had from the 1966-67 Citadel Bulldogs Varsity Basketball team were of the great players they went up against. They remember the Michael Jordans - or in this case the Johnny Moates. Conroy writes, "In every home I entered as I reconstituted my team, I found instead of memory scar tissue and nerve damage. There is no downside to winning. It feels forever fabulous. But there is no teacher more discriminating or transforming than loss."
