Summary

Summary

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.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A book whose honesty and evocation of youth is a triumph.” New York Times
“The tribulations of an American youth during the Thirties and Forties…He undergoes the traditional rite de passage of disrupted family life, boyhood miseries and marvels, mixed-up schooling, and contrasted adventures in Florida, New York, and Europe. A mirror of growing up, of emotional survival, upsettingly reflective of us all.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
