My Losing Season: A Memoir by Pat Conroy

3.0

Conroy's autobiographical reflection on his days at The Citadel - with a particular focus on his impossibly horrible father (subject of The Great Santini), his impossibly difficult coach, the horrible plebe year at this military college, and the travails that led him to grow as a man and as a writer. Conroy somewhat implausibly foregives everyone at the end - but the story of his senior year, the "losing season" of the title, is a fine reflection on basketball, and the lessons that losing brings to life.
