Publisher's Summary

Pat Conroy was America's poet laureate of family dysfunction. A larger-than-life character and the author of such classics as The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini, Conroy was remembered by everybody for his energy, his exuberance, and his self-lacerating humor.

Michael Mewshaw's The Lost Prince is an intimate memoir of his friendship with Pat Conroy, one that involves their families and those days in Rome when they were both young - when Conroy went from being a popular regional writer to an internationally best-selling author. Family snapshots beautifully illustrate that time. Shortly before his 49th birthday, Conroy telephoned Mewshaw to ask a terrible favor. With great reluctance, Mewshaw did as he was asked - and never saw Pat Conroy again.

Although they never managed to reconcile their differences completely, Conroy later urged Mewshaw to write about "me and you and what happened... i know it would cause much pain to both of us. but here is what that story has that none of your others have." The Lost Prince is Mewshaw's fulfillment of a promise.

Friendship

A story of deep male friendship between two talented authors. I found the description compelling… what could one have asked that caused it to collapse? It’s not a spoiler to say that it was pretty hard to understand, but the one left adrift felt the same. Still, it was interesting and it speaks to the fragility of our relationships. I’ve not read either of the authors but I imagine fans will enjoy this as there are plenty of book references. Much of the book is set in Rome.
