About the book
Tuesdays with Morrie is a memoir by American writer Mitch Albom about going back to his former sociology professor at Brandeis University, Morrie Schwartz, who is dying of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Albom visits the professor at his home in West Newton, Massachusetts, on fourteen Tuesdays, treating the meetings as a final class and the book as his term paper. Each chapter takes up a subject the two men discuss, such as death, fear, greed, family and forgiveness. Albom also reflects on his own career-focused life and recalls his student years.
