An interesting life,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Michener: A Writer's Journey (Hardcover)
Michener's life has interested me for his destiny as a globetrotter, and not so much for his literary career. I must admit that till now I only read -leaping over paragraphs and sometimes entire pages- "The Source", "Iberia", "The Covenant", and "The world is my home". This biography by Stephen J. May has allowed me to estimate Michener in all his seriousness and capacity of work, and to admire him for his inner force, his faith in life, and his courage before the adversity and the diseases that marked his oldness. Also it has opened to me a peephole on some sadly intimate aspects of his life: his confused familiar origins, his emotional coldness and egotism, and his failure as an adoptive father. As a result of this reading I am readier to digest another of his voluminous and slow-pace texts.
