"The Death of Santini instantly reminded me of the decadent pleasures of [Conroy's] language, of his promiscuous gift for metaphor and of his ability, in the finest passages of his fiction, to make the love, hurt or terror a protagonist feels seem to be the only emotion the world could possibly have room for, the rightful center of the trembling universe....Conroy's conviction pulls you fleetly through the book, as does the potency of his bond with his family, no matter their sins, their discord, their shortcomings." --Frank Bruni, The New York Times Book Review
"In several of his 12 previous books, bestseller Conroy mined his brutal South Carolina childhood--most directly in the book that became a 1979 hit movie, The Great Santini, about a violent fighter pilot and his defiant son. In this memoir, the 68-year-old sheds the fictional veil, taking 'one more night flight into the immortal darkness to study that house of pain a final time.' The result is a painful, lyrical, addictive read that his fans won't want to miss." --People, 3 1/2 out of 4 stars "Despite the inherently bleak nature of so much of this material, Conroy has fashioned a memoir that is vital, large-hearted and often raucously funny. The result is an act of hard-won forgiveness, a deeply considered meditation on the impossibly complex nature of families and a valuable contribution to the literature of fathers and sons." --The Washington Post"Sobre este título" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
