Wright Morris (born January 6, 1910 in Central City, Nebraska; died April 25, 1998) was an American novelist, photographer, and essayist. For a time, he was also an English professor at San Francisco State College.
He is best known for his off-beat novels about society and the human condition. Many of his works experimented with point of view, tone, and style. Each related to history and its relevance to problems today. He published his memoirs in three volumes, the first Will's Boy in 1981, followed by Solo and A Cloak of Light.
