What this book is about
In 1994, Mitch Albom saw his beloved college professor Morrie Schwartz on Nightline — talking about what it means to die well. Albom hadn't spoken to Morrie in sixteen years. He flew to Boston the next week, and kept coming back every Tuesday until Morrie died. This memoir is made from those visits: fourteen conversations about life, death, love, work, family, and forgiveness, recorded by Albom and arranged into a spare, gentle book. One of the best-selling memoirs of the 1990s — a book about dying that reads as instruction for living.
