October 2026 Book Review: Pat Conroy’s Lowcountry A History & Guide
Review by: Dr. Wendy Hooper-Meletes, Ed.D., owner of Litchfield Books. The American South has produced more major literary place voices per square mile than any other region in the country. Lynn Seldon is one of the South’s rich literary authors whose writing blends travel, history, and cultural exploration. South Carolina Lowcountry tidal marsh heritage, coastal beauty, and Gullah Geechee culture allows reader to engage in history that has quiet charm, vibrant culture and a deep personal connection to the literary output he calls home. From William Faulkner’s Mississippi to Flannery O’Connor’s Georgia, Beaufort based travel journalist Seldon details the unforgettable journey through the places, people and traditions that shaped Conroy’s influence on the Lowcountry. Follow the path through beloved Lowcountry destinations including Fripp Island, St. Helena Island, and Daufuskie Island—locations that appear frequently in Conroy’s novels and memoirs. Along the way, this guide highlights historic landmarks, Gullah Geechee heritage, scenic waterways, renowned coastal cuisine, and authentic local experiences that continue to define this extraordinary region. This isn’t accidental. Southern literature draws its power from a set of conditions unique in American life: a deeply oral storytelling tradition Conroy passed down through generations on porches and at kitchen tables; a landscape so vivid and varied it becomes a character in every story. Even small-town domestic fiction can’t match a culture that has always valued the telling as much as the tale. Seldon helps us feel rooted in a way that much American fiction does not. Southern writer Pat Conroy was not generic when he wrote about our small towns or antebellum landscapes. Conroy wrote about this red clay, this river bend, this particular quality of light through pine trees at dusk. The specificity is the universality — the more precisely a writer captures a place, the more powerfully a reader anywhere in the world can feel it. Join us in celebrating Lynn Seldon’s latest book, Pat Conroy’s Lowcountry at his in-store book signing at Litchfield Books in Pawleys Island on Black Friday, November 27, 2026.

Myrtle Beach's Legends Golf Resort adds par-3 course
The Piper, a nine-hole par-3 course designed by Ken Baker, officially opened Oct. 2 at Legends Golf Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Built on 12 acres behind the resort’s clubhouse, The Piper features holes ranging from 54 to 120 yards. The course includes three-hole loops so that golfers can play three, six or nine holes. With lights and music, plus a restored red telephone booth that was used at the resort in the 1990s and is now the starter’s box, The Piper is intended to create a new social experience at the resort. The short course’s name is a nod to wandering musicians of Scottish folklore. Legends Golf Resort was already home to three full-size courses: Heathland, Moorland and Parkland. Moorland is ranked by Golfweek’s Best as tied for the 11 th -best public-access course in South Carolina, and Heathland is No. 18 on that list.
