With his signature style and grace, Willie Morris, arguably one
of this country's finest Southern writers, presents us with an
unparalleled memoir of a country in transition and a boy coming of
age in a period of tumultuous cultural, social, and political
change.
In North Toward Home, Morris vividly recalls the South of
his childhood with all of its cruelty, grace, and foibles intact.
He chronicles desegregation and the rise of Lyndon Johnson in Texas
in the 50s and 60s, and New York in the 1960s, where he became the
controversial editor of Harper's magazine. North Toward
Home is the perceptive story of the education of an observant
and intelligent young man, and a gifted writer's keen observations
of a country in transition. It is, as Walker Percy wrote, "a
touching, deeply felt and memorable account of one man's
pilgrimage."
