Publisher Description
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.

“The tribulations of an American youth during the Thirties and Forties…He undergoes the traditional rite de passage of disrupted family life, boyhood miseries and marvels, mixed-up schooling, and contrasted adventures in Florida, New York, and Europe. A mirror of growing up, of emotional survival, upsettingly reflective of us all.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Robert Fass’s new performance of writer Frank Conroy’s 1967 memoir has the feel of classic storytelling in the 1930s and ‘40s. It’s a perfect match for the stories unfolding here.”
