The Boo was Pat Conroy’s first published book, released in 1970 by McClure, Stuart & Lovenheim. The collection of stories and letters centers on Lt. Colonel Thomas Courvoisie, the assistant commandant at The Citadel, where Conroy had been a cadet. Conroy self-financed much of the project and distributed it locally in South Carolina, with the initial print run reportedly fewer than 2,000 copies.
