New York, NY: E. P. Dutton | Seymour Lawrence (1985)

First Edition. Signed.

Near fine with a tiny bit of shelf wear on the edges.

From the flap: A common thread runs through these pieces, a narrative arc describing a man's growing awareness of the world around himself and his increasing engagement with that world. We learned to trust Conroy's voice in Stop-time, a description of his childhood, and now the voice has matured, as his art has matured, to deal with the times in which we live. It has been eighteen years since Conroy's last book, but the wait has been worth it.

FRANK CONROY was born in 1936 and graduated from Haverford College in 1958. He was director of the prestigious Writers’ Workshop. Conroy wrote an autobiography Stop-Time, published in 1967, and his collection of stories, Midair, was published in 1985. His work has appeared in the New Yorker, Esquire, GQ, Harper’s Magazine, and Partisan Review.
