Mitch Elbom (born 1958) is a famous American writer, journalist, screenwriter, playwright, radio and television presenter and musician, whose books have sold more than 42 million copies worldwide. Tuesdays with Morrie (1997) chronicles the author's weekly meetings with his former sociology teacher, 78-year-old Morrie Schwartz, who is dying of an incurable disease. Every Tuesday, Mitch traveled from Michigan to Massachusetts and had detailed conversations with Morrie about life and death, about love and friendship, about true and false values. Trying to find a way to pay Morrie's medical bills, Mitch decided to release a book about these meetings. Published in a small print run at first, "Tuesdays...", thanks to its mention on the Oprah Winfrey show, entered the New York Times bestseller list and occupied the top spot for a long time. Repeatedly republished and translated into more than 40 languages, Elbom's book became the literary basis of the 1999 film of the same name starring Jack Lemmon as Morrie (Emmy Award) and Hank Azaria as Mitch.
