Description: "North Toward Home traces the personal development and intellectual growth of a sixth-generation southerner - from his carefree boyhood in Yazoo City, Mississippi, through his student years at the University of Texas and subsequent editorship of the crusading Texas Observer, to his entry into the literary world of New York City.".

"But this self-styled "autobiography in mid-passage" is more than simply one man's emotional journey to understanding his own southern origins and regional identity while (albeit reluctantly) coming to regard North as home. As Morris chronicles his own experiences during the forties, fifties, and sixties, he also explains their relationship to larger contemporaneous trends in America."--BOOK JACKET.
