Then: Essays in Reconstruction

CULTURAL WRITING. MEMOIR. THEN: ESSAYS IN RECONSTRUCTION is a memoir on which John N. Morris was working at the time of his death.

These two reconciling ambitions account for the urgency thatlies behind all autobiography. They lie at the heart of John Morris'sThen, a work wisely and accurately subtitled Essays in Reconstruction"-Wayne Fields.
