The Death of Santini is a nonfiction memoir by Pat Conroy. Published in 2013, it revisits the complex and often painful relationship between Conroy and his father, Donald “Santini” Conroy — the Marine fighter pilot who inspired the father figure in Conroy’s earlier novel The Great Santini. The book blends family history, memoir, military life, forgiveness, and literary reflection.
