Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A deeply affecting coming-of-age memoir about family, love, loss, basketball--and life itself--by the beloved author of The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini   During one unforgettable season as a Citadel cadet, Pat Conroy becomes part of a basketball team that is ultimately destined to fail. And yet for a military kid who grew up on the move, the Bulldogs provide a sanctuary from the cold, abrasive father who dominates his life--and a crucible for becoming his own man.   With all the drama and incandescence of his bestselling fiction, Conroy re-creates his pivotal senior year as captain of the Citadel Bulldogs. He chronicles the highs and lows of that fateful 1966-67 season, his tough disciplinarian coach, the joys of winning, and the hard-won lessons of losing. Most of all, he recounts how a group of boys came together as a team, playing a sport that would become a metaphor for a man whose spirit could never be defeated.   Praise for My Losing Season   "A superb accomplishment, maybe the finest book Pat Conroy has written."--The Washington Post Book World   "A wonderfully rich memoir that you don't have to be a sports fan to love."--Houston Chronicle   "A memoir with all the Conroy trademarks . . . Here's ample proof that losers always tell the best stories."--Newsweek   "In My Losing Season, Conroy opens his arms wide to embrace his difficult past and almost everyone in it."--New York Daily News   "Haunting, bittersweet and as compelling as his bestselling fiction."--Boston Herald.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ."A brilliant storyteller, a master of sarcasm, and a hallucinatory stylist whose obsession with the impress of the past on the present binds him to Southern literary tradition."-The Boston Globe Pat Conroy's great success as a writer has always been intimately linked with the exploration of his family history. As the oldest of seven children who were dragged from military base to military base across the South, Pat bore witness to the often cruel and violent behavior of his father, Marine Corps fighter pilot Donald Patrick Conroy. While the publication of The Great Santini brought Pat much acclaim, the rift it caused brought even more attention, fracturing an already battered family. But as Pat tenderly chronicles here, even the oldest of wounds can heal. In the final years of Don Conroy's life, the Santini unexpectedly refocused his ire to defend his son's honor. The Death of Santini is a heart-wrenching act of reckoning whose ultimate conclusion is that love can soften even the meanest of men, lending significance to the oft-quoted line from Pat's novel The Prince of Tides: "In families there are no crimes beyond forgiveness." Praise for The Death of Santini "A painful, lyrical, addictive read that Pat Conroy's fans won't want to miss."-People "Conroy's conviction pulls you fleetly through the book, as does the potency of his bond with his family, no matter their sins."-The New York Times Book Review "Vital, large-hearted and often raucously funny."-The Washington Post "Conroy writes athletically and beautifully, slicing through painful memories like a point guard splitting the defense."-Minneapolis Star Tribune.…
