Yes. That Eddy Harris. Mississippi Solo is his most famous book. Eddy is a good man and a good friend. If you liked his river book, I would also recommend you seek out his other books, Native Stranger, South of Haunted Dreams, Still Life in Harlem. They are all great memoirs. South of Haunted Dreams has been called “the greatest book on race relations written in the late 20th century.” Regardless of its social importance, it is a fantastic story about a courageous man.
