My losing season is a memoir by Pat Conroy specifically speaking out against the Plebean system at The Citadel where he attended college, while recapping his senior basketball season there. He also goes into some detail about his childhood life in various cities. Like his other stories he speaks out against his father and the abuse he put upon his family, but in this particular recount all the stories hold full truth and there is no editing.
The memoir begins with his move to Orlando where he first began to play basketball at age 9 and found a natural skill with the game. He proceeded to play along with the black players on the other side of town despite being much younger and much smaller. After growing close to some of these players his father was reassigned to another location and this forced the family to make the third of many moves.
