Pat Conroy is a master storyteller and a poetic and gifted prose stylist. The Great Santini, an autobiographical work, later made into a film starring Robert Duvall, explored the conflicts of the author’s childhood, particularly his ambivalent love for an abusive and often dangerous father. The Citadel became the subject of his next novel, The Lords of Discipline exposed the school’s harsh military discipline, racism, and sexism. This book, too, was made into a feature film. The Prince of Tides became his most successful book. This novel has become one of the most beloved novels of modern time; with over five million copies in print, it has earned Conroy an international reputation. South of Broad, Conroy’s fifth novel and ninth book, presents readers with a Conroy first: a totally lovable father for Leo Bloom King, the story’s central figure.
