Frank Conroy Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

First published in 1967, Stop-Time was immediately recognized as a masterpiece of modern American autobiography, a brilliant portrayal of one boy's passage from childhood to adolescence and beyond. Here is Frank Conroy's wry, sad, beautiful tale of life on the road; of odd jobs and lost friendships, brutal schools and first loves; of a father's early death and a son's exhilarating escape into manhood. Stop-Time is as generous on the subject of growing up lost in America, as moving in its absolute intelligence and compassion, as anywork that has appeared before or since.

Die kleinen Fluchten und Abenteuer beim Erwachsenwerden stehen im Mittelpunkt von "Alle Zeit der Welt", dem Roman einer Jugend. Die Schauplätze dieses Klassikers der modernen amerikanischen Literatur sind neben Florida und New York, Dänemark und Paris. Dieser Roman handelt von der einzigartigen Lust, sich kopfüber in die Zukunft stürzen zu können.

From the author of Stop Time and Midair comes a dazzling virtuoso novel. The poor, lonely son of a taxi-driver mother is transformed by the gift of a piano that takes him from the drawing rooms of the rich and powerful to a performance at Carnegie Hall.
