A Very Nice Copy of the Uncorrected Proofs of Conroy’s “The Great Santiniâ€
The Great Santini. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1976.
Uncorrected Proof Copy.
Octavo. [viii], [1]-536, [4, blank] pp. Original publisher’s printed wraps. Spine lightly sunned, some mild rubbing to edges, upper corner bumped, entertainment agency ownership plate on first blank leaf. Near fine.
This book, about a boy’s strained relationship with his hard-nosed Marine-fighter-pilot father, was based to some extent on Conroy’s own relationship with his father. It was also the basis of the 1979 film starring Robert Duvall in the title role.
