Title: Remembering Willie
Description: "All Who Knew Willie Morris claim and treasure a part of him. After his sudden death on August 2, 1999, there was a spontaneous and immediate outpouring of praise of him and his works. In this time of grief his close friends, literary colleagues, political figures, and some of the nation's most notable journalists sounded their acclamation of this indelibly influential writer.".

"This book of memorials collects twenty-seven eulogies and tributes. These came from Yazoo City, his boyhood hometown, from his native state of Mississippi, from literary America, from the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and from the Oval Office."--BOOK JACKET.
