Back Porch Session: Pat Conroy and Cassandra King

The South's most notable literary couple stopped by the G&G office



Thirty-seven years ago, Pat Conroy introduced the world to one of the most dysfunctional families in Southern literature—his own. This fall, he closed the chapter on the saga with his autobiography, The Death of Santini. During a recent book tour stopover, Conroy and his wife Cassandra King—a bestselling novelist whose latest release, Moonrise, also has her crisscrossing the South—met up at the Garden & Gun office to discuss their new books, answer reader questions, and, of course, divulge a few family secrets.
