No one but Mitch Albom could have read Tuesdays with Morrie so
effectively. As the author of this inspirational true story, Albom
uses verbal inflection in exactly the right places to evoke humor,
empathy, and emotion. It's an honest reading, and the underlying
timbre of private memory pushes it past mere recitation to pure
storytelling.
The titular Morrie was Morrie Schwartz, Albom's university
professor 20 years before the events being narrated. An accidental
viewing of an interview with Morrie on Nightline led Albom to
become reunited with his old teacher, friend, and "coach" at a time
when Albom, a successful sportswriter, was struggling to define
dissatisfactions with his own life and career. Morrie, on the other
hand, after a rich life filled with friends, family, teaching, and
music, was dying from Lou Gehrig's disease, a crippling illness
that diminished his activities daily. Albom was one of hundreds of
former students and acquaintances who traveled great distances to
visit Morrie in the final months of his life.
The 14 Tuesday visits that followed their reunion took Albom--and
will take listeners with him--on a journey of reawakening to life's
best rewards. The story is told in a journalistic style that never
crosses into pathos. That a professional writer can write well is
not surprising, but Albom also reads well, with clear enunciation
and a talent for mimicry. Another reader might have interpreted the
professor's aphorisms as droll humor or wrung a wrong note at an
inappropriate moment, making the story a maudlin tearjerker;
instead it is read for what it is, a tribute to a remarkable
teacher. (Running time: four hours, three
cassettes) --Brenda Pittsley
