RIP PAT CONROY




Seems almost like losing an old friend, someone you knew, spent a lot of time with a long time ago. The Lords of Discipline was published when I was a senior in high school - putting all sorts of misconceptions in my brain for my coming college career , but a very special book to me. " I never saw Harvey Clearwater again" - becoming someone different than you were.

 His novels were the very first ones I ever read that were about places and things that I knew. I think I lived in the same neighborhood as part of Prince of Tides while reading it ( or at least when the movie came out ) .
