Quite scarce book. Frank Conroy's first novel. One of the best and most acclaimed of autobiographical novels.

"Because Stop-time is a memoir of boyhood and adolescence, it deals with family conflict, friendship and love, the paralysis of terror, pride in new powers--all the commonplaces of reminiscence. But this is the story of a young life told with such freedom and skill, peopled by characters so rich, that it transcends conventional categories and makes an exhilarating claim for greatness."
