First Edition, First Printing. Signed by Conroy on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Part memoir, the book deals primarily deals with Conroy's senior season as the starting point guard on the basketball team of The Citadel in 1966. Octavo. 402 pp. A terrific copy of this Conroy classic.
From the dust jacket: "In My Losing Season, Conroy takes the reader through his last year playing basketball, as point guard and captain of The Citadel Bulldogs, flashing back constantly to the drama of his coming of age, presenting all the conflict and love that have been at the core of his novels. He vividly re-creates his senior year at that now-famous military college in Charleston, South Carolina, but also tells the story of his heartbreaking childhood and of the wonderful series of events that conspired to rescue his spirit."
Synopsis
My Losing Season is a memoir by Pat Conroy. It mainly deals with his senior season as the starting point guard on the basketball team of The Citadel, from 1966 - 1967.

The book also deals with the team's experience of losing. In his final season, his team finished 8-17.
