In his travels, Mr. Morris has met such literary greats as editor Maxwell Perkins and Nobel Prize winner Saul Bellow--as well as "down-home folks"--Mexican peasants, plains farmers. He has also over the years, established himself as a highly respected photographer, with several photo-text books to his credit. A Cloak of Light is illustrated w/a collection of some of his best work with the camera, including a hitherto unpublished photograph selected for us by the author/photographer himself because he particularly wanted it to appear as the frontispece in this unusual edition for book collectors. You'll be swept up in adventure after adventure involving everything from people to iguanas.
