Perhaps one of the most seminal coming-of-age books of the 20th Century, Stop-Time instantly became a cult-classic in its telling of a boyhood spent at an oppressive boarding school, followed by wanderings from New York City to Florida. It is a retrospective view of the intense psychological development of a young man who is struggling to find his place in the world; and a brilliant portrayal of one boy's passage from childhood to adolescence and beyond. Conroy's writing is wry, sad, and beautiful: the traumas of a young life filled with odd jobs, lost friendships, and bittersweet first loves; a father's early death and his eventual escape into manhood.
