Suri "Tõusude ja mõõnade printsi" autor

USAs suri 70 aasta vanuses menukirjanik Pat Conroy, kelle teostest on eesti keelde tõlgitud „Rannamuusika“ ning „Tõusude ja mõõnade prints“.

"Tõusude ja mõõnade printsi" ("Prince of the Tides") põhjal väntas Barbara Streisand oma kassatüki „Elu tõusuvetel“.

Abikaasa ja kirjastuse sõnul oli populaarne autor põdenud kõhunäärmevähki ning suikunud igavesele unele oma Lõuna-Carolina kodus lähedastest ümbritsetuna, vahendab BBC News.
