Their appreciation for his support can be seen in a new collection of essays titled Our Prince of Scribes. Jonathan Haupt\, executive director of the Pat Conroy Literary Center\, and novelist Nicole Seitz gathered stories from 67 writers about Conroy and his impact on their lives…. [T]he underlying theme is that he never stopped mentoring.”–Hilton Head Monthly \n“In these essays\, you’ll meet a man who was troubled\, tormented\, angry\, scathing\, outrageous\, hilarious\, tender\, noble\, brave\, and generous beyond measure. But most of all\, you’ll meet a man who damn-well knew how to love. And thanks to the devoted efforts of co-editors Jonathan Haupt and Nicole Seitz\, and the work of 67 very fine writers\, his legion of fans will come to love Pat Conroy even more than they already do.”–Lowcountry Weekly \n“Our Prince of Scribes isn’t just a collection of homages but also a delightful introduction to Conroy’s vast and talented circle of friends.”–Washington Post \n\nABOUT OUR PRESENTERS\nJonathan Haupt is the executive director of the Pat Conroy Literary Center\, the founding director of the annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival\, and the former director of the University of South Carolina Press.
