In what may be a first, my Friday Favorite this time was never made into a movie. My choice this week is James Michener's Chesapeake, a novel that spans 400 years, making a movie adaptation all but impossible. ... In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I later picked up a couple more Michener novels.Oct 16, 2009

“I like to know who they're rooting for in soccer or football. You can only do that by being on the scene, and in it.

Is Michener a good writer?
Perhaps for the same reason, outside of the great sagas, Michener is a middling quality novelist, though certainly worth reading. But he figured something out, or stumbled into it, late in life, and it buoyed his final work beyond its time. He figured out how to use setting as the main instigator and mover in a story.Aug 24, 2018
