Book Synopsis The Courting of Marcus Dupree by : Willie Morris
Download or read book The Courting of Marcus Dupree written by Willie Morris and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2011-02-11 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of Marcus Dupree's birth, when Deep South racism was about to crest and shatter against the Civil Rights Movement, Willie Morris journeyed north in a circular transit peculiar to southern writers. His memoir of those years, North Toward Home, became a modern classic. In The Courting of Marcus Dupree he turned again home to Mississippi to write about the small town of Philadelphia and its favorite son, a black high-school quarterback. In Marcus Dupree, Morris found a living emblem of that baroque strain in the American character called "southern." Beginning on the summer practice fields, Morris follows Marcus Dupree through each game of his senior varsity year. He talks with the Dupree family, the college recruiters, the coach and the school principal, some of the teachers and townspeople, and, of course, with the young man himself. As the season progresses and the seventeen-year-old Dupree attracts a degree of national attention to Philadelphia neither known nor endured since "the Troubles" of the early sixties, these conversations take on a wider significance. Willie Morris has created more than a spectator's journal. He writes here of his repatriation to a land and a people who have recovered something that fear and misdirected loyalties had once eclipsed. The result is a fascinating, unusual, and even topical work that tells a story richer than its apparent subject, for it brings the whole of the eighties South, with all its distinctive resonances, to life.

Book Synopsis The Last of the Southern Girls by : Willie Morris
Download or read book The Last of the Southern Girls written by Willie Morris and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1994-08-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carol Hollywell is beautiful, smart, elegant, and charming. A debutante from De Soto Point, Arkansas, and a recent graduate of Ole Miss, she is heir to a good southern name and a small southern fortune. She knows what she wants and, more important, knows how to get it. She is, in other words, the prototypical southern belle, a Scarlett O’Hara for the 1950s, and when she moves to Washington, D.C., in 1957, she sets the town on its ear. Willie Morris’ cleverly conceived and brilliantly executed novel (loosely based on a real-life figure) follows this headstrong woman from her arrival at the Capital and traces the ups and downs of her life in the political and social whirl of the city over the next decade and a half. Eventually, she becomes romantically involved with a prominent congressman—an idealist, a reformer, a man perhaps headed for the very pinnacle of political life. It is at first a dazzling alliance, yet the genuine satisfactions they find in their relationship cannot long withstand the pressures of the ambitions both of them harbor. The very drives that initially brought them together in the end propel their love affair into jeopardy. Morris paints a devastatingly accurate portrait not only of a power-hungry woman but also of the society that feeds such hunger. His descriptions of Washington and its denizens—the politicos, the journalists, the socialites, and the hangers-on—are nothing short of breathtaking.

Download or read book IN SECRET WATERS written by Richard Weissmann and published by Llumina Press. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erik Hazen is an enigma. Born and raised on the not-so-chic side of the Hamptons on Long Island, he belongs to a family of traditional fisherman known locally as Bonackers. For eight generations, his relatives made their living from the sea: haul seining, trap netting, clamming, and scalloping. But by the 1980's, with that way of life dying out, Hazen breaks away to attend Annapolis, serve as a Navy SEAL, and finally take over a small boat-building business, which he grows into a sought-after brand. But Erik has an obsession. The sunken liner Andrea Doria, which lies in deep water off Montauk Point, has been a magnet for extreme divers since its sinking in 1956. After his over 200 dives to it, Hazen is the acknowledged expert on the wreck. Or he was, until his young wife drowned inside the ship in a failed dive. The tragedy led Hazen to give up his boat-building business and return to a simpler way of life as a charter boat captain. Now, ten years later, he is approached by a woman who claims that a vast fortune in stolen diamonds, lost since WWII, may be buried in the ship's wreckage. If it can be found, the legendary Fuhrer Gems can help make restitution to the families of thousands of Holocaust victims. Hazen must get past his ghosts - and a group of modern-day terrorists who have information on the lost treasure - to go back to the Andrea Doria. The stakes are high and the challenges many, in this tale of adventure from the streets of New York City to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean."
