Eddy L. Harris at RolfPotts.com

This month at the RolfPotts.com Writers page, I interview Eddy L. Harris, who is the author of four critically acclaimed books — Mississippi Solo: A River Quest, Native Stranger: A Black American’s Journey into the Heart of Africa, South of Haunted Dreams: A Memoir, and Still Life in Harlem: A Memoir — all of which partake of memoir, travelogue, adventure tale, and cultural reportage. I spoke to Eddy in person at the 2006 Key West Literary Seminar, where he was a featured speaker.

Here are a few highlights from the interview:

    I have read three of Eddy Harris’s books and am getting ready to read the fourth. I’m a Black-Latino woman and I like his writing. I think it is important and have actually just ordered South of Haunted Dreams to give to my brother-in-law as a Xmas gift.

    I enjoyed this interview. I am a person who doesn’t travel well - due mostly to a very unfortunate event with police in a foreign country on my first trip out. The adventures and insights of others who travel willingly are important and illuminating for me.
