5. James Michener James Michener, one of America s bestloved novelists, has lived a life of epic proportions, his saga as much a page-turner as any of his famous books, http://www.grandtimes.com/michener.html

James Michener AN EPIC LIFE By Kira Albin, interview conducted in 1997 Photograph by Susan Dillon. © 1996 Susan Dillon Editor's Note: The interview for this article took place with Mr. Michener on August 28 , 1997. Mr. Michener passed away on October 16, 1997. James Michener, one of America's best-loved novelists, has lived a life of epic proportions, his saga as much a page-turner as any of his famous books, his success the outcome of hard-won battles. Michener, an orphan, was adopted shortly after birth by Mabel Michener, a poverty-stricken widow with two other children. The family lived in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, surviving with few resources and often little to eat. Michener's classmates and even a teacher tormented him about his unpressed secondhand clothes and toeless sneakers with broken, knotted laces. According to John Hayes, author of James A. Michener: A Biography (The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc., 1984), Mabel was Michener's birth mother, but being unwed, she used the adoption story to protect them both. Michener holds to the adoption version but no longer discusses the subject. Despite these circumstances, his participation in basketball led to numerous team victories and a championship season, bringing him a certain acceptance and some lessening of the pain of the ridicule to which he was subjected. As a young teenager and with just a few dollars in his pocket, Michener began hitchhiking across the United States, sometimes with a buddy, frequently alone. Of those days, Michener writes in his autobiography, The World Is My Home (Random House, 1992), "Those were years of wonder and enchantment,...some of the best years I would know. I kept meeting American citizens of all levels who took me into their cars, their confidence and often their homes." From these early experiences grew Michener's lifelong insatiable curiosity about people, cultures, and faraway lands.

Michener wrote his first book at the age of thirty-nine and immediately won a Pulitzer Prize. "I am a humanist because I think humanity can, with constant moral guidance, create reasonably decent societies. I think that young people who want to understand the world can profit from the works of Plato and Socrates, the behaviour of the three Thomases, Aquinas, More and Jefferson - the austere analyses of Immanuel Kant and the political leadership of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt." (from The World is My Home According to his own words James A. Michener was a foundling without knowledge of his birth-place or date; according to other sources he was born in New York and taken as an orphan to Doylestown, Pennsylvania. He was raised by Mabel Michener, a Quaker widow. He started to write a sports column at the age of fifteen for the local newspaper and edited the high school student paper. From 1929 to 1931 Michener was a master at the Hill School in Pottstown and from 1934 to 1936 at the George School in Newtown. He was a professor at the University of Northern Colorado (1936-40), and then visiting professor of history at Harvard's School of. Education (1940-41). When the United States entered World War II Michener decided to enlist in the Navy although as a Quaker he was exempt from actual military service. From 1944 to 1946 he served as a naval historian in the South Pacific and traveled widely in the area. His early fiction is also based on his experiences in the Pacific. Between the years 1941 and 1949 Michener was associate editor at the Macmillan Company, New York. Since 1949 he devoted himself entirely to writing.

Related stories and sites AUSTIN, Texas (CNN) Internationally acclaimed novelist James A. Michener died Thursday in Texas, just days after removing himself from life-sustaining kidney dialysis, his assistant said. He was 90. Longtime friend and assistant John Kings said the author died of renal failure. Michener last week ordered doctors to disconnect him from dialysis. "His loss will be great not only the literary scene but to the many colleges he has nurtured through the years and the many thousands of people who feel he is their friend," Kings said. William Livingston, a friend who was with Michener in his last days, said Michener's body would be cremated after a funeral in an Austin church Tuesday. Consumate traveler Born in New York City in 1907, Michener had more than 40 titles to his name. His latest book, "A Century of Sonnets," was released earlier this year. But the writer will be best remembered for his novels, which read like diaries chronicling his wanderlust. CNN's Steve Nettleton reports on Michener's life 7 min., 37 sec. VXtreme streaming video
