NORTH TOWARD HOME(ISBN=9780375724602) 英文原版 pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

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."
