Love of Literacy Luncheon 11:30 a.m.

Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts
March 30, 2012


The Literacy Coalition is pleased to announce the speaker for the March 30, 2012, Love of Literacy Luncheon! Pat Conroy, deemed by many as one of the 10 greatest living American authors, will be the featured speaker. A New York Times review commented, “Conroy remains a magician of the page. As a writer, he owns the South Carolina coast….” His writing is characterized by “descriptions of the tides and the palms, the confessions of love and loss, the memories evergreen and verdant set side by side with evocations of the annoyed heart….” In Conroy’s first book, The Water is Wide, he showed his concern for literacy and education as he recounted his experiences teaching in a one-room schoolhouse on a remote island off the South Carolina shore.

We are pleased to announce that, once again, the luncheon is made possible by support from Bank of America. We also are thrilled that the law firm of Haile, Shaw & Pfaffenberger, P.A. is again providing support as our Platinum Sponsor.

Conroy has written nine books with his most successful, The Prince of Tides, being made into a movie starring Barbara Streisand and Nick Nolte. His autobiographical work, The Great Santini, was also made into a film as were two other books, The Lords of Discipline and The Water is Wide. His most recent work, My Reading Life, is a book lover’s delight. Conroy shows how reading may have saved his life and his sanity. In this very moving account, Conroy shares with wisdom and honesty not only the pleasure of reading but also the power of books to shape a life.

Join with the Literacy Coalition on March 30 to hear this literary giant and literacy advocate. It will surely sell out early.
