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)
“Robert Fass’s new performance of writer Frank Conroy’s 1967 memoir has the feel of classic storytelling in the 1930s and ‘40s. It’s a perfect match for the stories unfolding here.” AudioFile
