Lit Wits: Writers Read
at Augustana College
|
Writer Eddy Harris was the third guest in Augustana’s new literary series.
Most of us conduct our adventures vicariously from an armchair, but Eddy
Harris travels the world, stopping long enough to live among people, explore
local cultures, and view himself in a new light. In Mississippi Solo,
he paddled down the Mississippi River in a canoe; in Native Stranger,
he traveled extensively throughout Africa; in South of Haunted Dreams,
he rode around the American South on a motorcycle; and in Still Life in
Harlem, he went to New York’s Harlem. Ultimately,
Harris writes about the intersection of place, black culture, and his own
identity. |
