Conroy, Pat My Losing Season
Nan A. Talese 2002 0-385-48912-9 / 9780385489126 1st Edition Hardcover Fine/Fine
A tight clean first edition (as stated) protected in a new brodart wrapper. When one loses, one learns, says Conroy (The Great Santini, The Prince of Tides, Beach Music) in his first work of nonfiction since The Water Is Wide. A wonderfully rich, informative, and well-researched reminiscence of, primarily, his senior year as a point guard at the Citadel during the 1966-67 season, this book is a gem. Written with humility and sincerity, the volume will please former teammates in any sport, not just basketball. Despite frustrations dealing with a coach whose aberrant behavior borders on masochistic and an institution whose social customs mirror his father's brutality, Conroy excels as team captain and burgeoning writer, giving credit to his teammates and professors as they lift his playing ability and encourage him to write. In the end, the author/player perseveres, at times fantastically.

CONROY, PAT The Prince of Tides
Bantam December 1, 198 0-553-26888-0 / 9780553268881 Paperback Very Good
For sheer storytelling finesse, Conroy will have few rivals this season. Hi s fourth novel is a seductive narrative, told with bravado flourishes, port entous foreshadowing, sardonic humor and eloquent turns of phrase. Like The Great Santini, it is the story of a destructive family relationship wherei n a violent father abuses his wife and children. Henry Wingo is a shrimper who fishes the seas off the South Carolina coast and regularly squanders wh at little money he amasses in farcical business schemes; his beautiful wife , Lila, is both his victim and a manipulative and guilt-inflicting mother. The story is narrated by one of the children, Tom Wingo, a former high scho ol teacher and coach, now out of work after a nervous breakdown. Tom altern ately recalls his growing-up years on isolated Melrose Island, then switche s to the present in Manhattan, where his twin sister and renowned poet, Sav annah, is recovering from a suicide attempt. One secret at the heart of thi s tale is the fate of their older brother Luke; we know he is dead, but the circumstances are slowly revealed. Also kept veiled is "what happened on t he island that day"a grisly scene of horror, rape and carnage that eventual ly explains much of the sorrow, pain and emotional alienation endured by th e Wingo siblings.
