Dogs Bark, but the Caravan Rolls On

A "e;superb blend of personal essays and journalistic articles"e; on everything from fatherhood to writing workshops to jazz musicians (Chicago Sun-Times). "e;At once subtle and dazzling,"e; these pieces collected from such publications as Esquire, Harper's Magazine, and GQ serve as both a wide-ranging journey through topics like art and music and an autobiographical look into the life of one of our most acclaimed literary figures, the author of such books as Stop-Time and Body & Soul and a director of the renowned Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa (Publishers Weekly). "e;[An] interesting and well-done anthology. Conroy takes on such topics as learning to play pool, fatherhood, the value of now-disappearing small towns in instilling family values, the enthusiasms of jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, and, of course, the Writers' Workshop."e; Library Journal "e;Highly enjoyable and illuminating . . . Dogs Bark is simply one of the best books published in a long, long time."e; Fort Worth Star-Telegram
