Frank Conroy." Includes a little sketch of a book. One reason to list a Frank Conroy title is the sheer fun of describing what is in its own way a really kind of remarkable career.from wikipedia: "Conroy's published works include the memoir "Stop-Time" (1967) [National Book Award Nominee]; a collection of short stories, "Midair" (1985); a novel, "Body and Soul" (1993), which is regarded as one of the finest evocations of the experience of being a musician; a collection of essays and commentaries, "Dogs Bark, but the Caravan Rolls On: Observations Then and Now" (2002); and a travelogue, Time and Tide: A Walk Through Nantucket (2004)." Oh, and he won a grammy for liner notes he wrote, ran the Iowa Writers Workshop for 18 years and had more than just respectable career as a jazz pianist.
