Stop-Time

First published in 1967, Stop-Time was immediately recognized as a masterpiece of modern American autobiography, a brilliant portrayal of one boy''s passage from childhood to adolescence and beyond. Here is Frank Conroy''s wry, sad, beautiful tale of life on the road; of odd jobs and lost friendships, brutal schools and first loves; of a father''s early death and a son''s exhilarating escape into manhood.
