E. Shaver Bookseller – Savannah, GA

Join Charleston novelist and artist Nicole Seitz and Pat Conroy Literary Center executive director Jonathan Haupt, co-editors of Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy, for a book signing at Savannah’s iconic E. Shaver Bookseller. Sales of Our Prince of Scribes benefit the educational mission of the nonprofit Conroy Center.

Praise for Our Prince of Scribes:

“In Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy, edited by Nicole Seitz and Jonathan Haupt, a collection of writers navigate the rich and often complicated landscape that was Conroy’s life…. Many of the writers have benefited from Conroy’s nurturing, and through their stories, they seek to honor his memory and continue to advance his unmistakable impact on modern literature.”–Augusta Chronicle

“His wound may have been geography, but his legacy was generosity. That’s the takeaway from this new collection of essays honoring the late Pat Conroy… A fitting tribute to a unique, significant writer and man.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A testament to his mentorship and passion for educating others, the book includes essays from more than sixty writers, including Rick Bragg, Nikky Finney, Mary Alice Monroe, Ron Rash, and Sallie Ann Robinson, one of Conroy’s former students on Daufuskie Island. It’s a moving tribute to the legacy of one of the South’s brightest lights.”–Garden & Gun’s Talk of the South
