Book Review of Willie and Dwike: An American Profile

Willie and Dwike: An American Profile
ilovetolearn avatar reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


I wanted this book because the author, William Zinsser, wrote the fabulous book On Writing Well. Then I started reading about the remarkable experiences of Willie Ruff and Dwike Mitchell. I was bowled over. They were the first to play a jazz concert in China, *and* Ruff learned Mandarin in order to communicate to the audiences in their language! Whether your interest is in writing, education or music, you won't be disappointed by Willie and Dwike.
