Albom credits simplicity for Tuesdays With Morrie fame
Mitch Albom recalled that Tuesdays With Morrie began as intimate visits with his dying college professor Morrie Schwartz, not a planned book, and only 25 000 copies were printed initially. The memoir became a global success, adapted for TV and theater, and led to follow ups including The Five People You Meet in Heaven and more recently For One More Day. He spoke at the University of Iowa campus and signed copies after the lecture.
