About This Item
W H Allen, publishers, London 1984 hardcover, 6¼" x 9½", with dust jacket VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket After a stint at teaching at a Quaker school and a brief trial as a book editor, Michener joined the Navy and was sent to the South Pacific. It was there, on New Caledonia, that a single dramatic incident made him decide to be a novelist. Persistence and good luck paid off with one blockbuster after another. This biography was written with Michener's cooperation, and explores his three marriages, his relationships with literary agents, editors and publishers, and the drive behind his success.
