Praise for Our Prince of Scribes: “His wound may have been geography, but his legacy was generosity. That’s the takeaway from this new collection of essays honoring the late Pat Conroy (1945-2016). Novelist Nicole Seitz and Jonathan Haupt, the executive director of the Pat Conroy Literary Center, pull together a who’s-who of writers from the Lowcountry and beyond for an ode to the real Prince of Tides… A fitting tribute to a unique, significant writer and man.”--Kirkus Reviews “What could be better than so many voices coming together to celebrate Pat Conroy? This book is a testament to the enormous hold he had on our hearts and minds.”—Ann Patchett, author of Bel Canto and Commonwealth Jonathan Haupt Executive Director Pat Conroy Literary Center www.patconroyliterarycenter.org 905 Port Republic Street | Beaufort, SC 29902 ©April 2014 and beyond | Diann Shaddox foundation ™| All Rights Reserved.
