My Two Oxfords; AFTERWORD |
| Summary |
One of America's most beloved authors and a master of the personal essay, Willie Morris (1934-1999) wrote nineteen books and hundreds of articles and reflections. To honor his memory on the seventy-fifth anniversary of his birth (November 29, 1934), My Two Oxfords is a special edition of one of these choice essays.In this piece, he addresses the quirky circumstance of having lived in ""two of the world's most disparate places."" There were two Oxfords in his life-Oxford University in England where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar in the 1950's and Oxford, Mississippi, the home of University. |
