Frank Conroy, 1936-2005

by Ron Hogan

The Iowa City Press-Citizen notes the death of Frank Conroy, director of the Iowa Writers' Workshop. The NYT obituary goes on at somewhat greater length, drawing upon Conroy's peers and proteges for a well-rounded portrait. You can also listen to a 2002 interview with Conroy on WBUR's The Connection.
