	Conrad Richter by David R. Johnson
		But as Richter himself certainly understood, from the beginning there had been another, a different Conrad Richter, one who was intensely attached to his parents and brothers, unhappy whenever his mother was not at home.
		This Conrad Richter took pleasure both in the idea of his patrician heritage from his mother's side-the Conrads, early settlers of Pine Grove, and the Henrys, like the Conrads a family of prominent Lutheran clergy-men- and almost equal delight in the idea of his Richter ancestors, generations of shepherds from the Black Forest.
		The other Conrad Richter, standing beside the porch, a foot on the first step and his arm resting on his knee, seems less attentive to the event of the photograph or to his alter ego beside him.

		Conrad Michael Richter was born in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania on October 13, 1890.
		Richter was a private secretary for two years and then he finally settled down to become a small publisher and to write in earnest.

	Conrad Richter: The Waters of Kronos
		From the time of its first publication in 1960, Conrad Richter's The Waters of Kronos sparked lively debate about the extent to which its story of a belated return to childhood scenes mirrored key events of Richter's own life.
		As Richter narrates his alter ego's efforts to salvage his past, he moves beyond "semi-autobiography" to offer what are widely recognized as his most haunting reflections upon the power of family history, the fragility of human memory, and art's role in structuring the communal ethos.
		Conrad Richter (1890-1968) was awarded the National Book Award for The Waters of Kronos in 1961.

	V. Ramirez: Review of Johnson, Conrad Richter: A Writer's Life
		Richter's meditation on the purpose of human suffering and its part in a divine plan, parallels his fiction interests —— stories featuring strong-willed characters who succumb neither to physical nor psychic despair.
		Richter's dealings with Hollywood, where he felt ill-at-ease and superfluous, provide added nuance to a man we learn cannot be corrupted by the promise of fame and wealth.
		Richter's fortunes rise as soon as he taps into the mythic version of the West Americans love: as full of larger than life men and women in a land still untamed, still full of possibility.
