Prince of Tides the novel--Banned!

The Prince of Tides is one of my favorite novels. (The movie is okay.) However, I found on the internet that a school in West Virginia has BANNED both The Prince of Tides and Beach Music, two of Conroy's best books.

Here is a link to the story:

And here is Conroy's letter to the editor of a local newspaper in WV:

It's one of the best letters to the editor I have ever read. Go Pat, go!

Thank you for sharing this. I have yet to read the novel, but the movie has always been one of my favorites.

What business is it of yours where I'm from, friendo?
