Reviews
"Michener explores some of the deepest issues raised by narrative literature." -- The New York Times   "A good, old-fashioned, sink-your-teeth-into-it story . . . The Novel lets us see an unfamiliar side of the author, at the same time portraying the delicate, complex relationship among editors, agents and writers." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer   "Michener loves literature, and his information about some of his favorite reading is almost as alluring as his explanation of how to handle a manuscript." --Associated Press   "So absorbing you simply will not want [it] to end." --Charleston News & Courier

Synopsis
In this riveting, ambitious novel from James A. Michener, the renowned chronicler of epic history turns his extraordinary imagination to a world he knew better than anyone: the world of books. Lukas Yoder, a novelist who has enjoyed a long, successful career, has finished what he believes to be his final work. Then a tragedy strikes in his community, and he becomes obsessed with writing about it. Meanwhile, Yoder s editor fights to preserve her integrity and her author as her firm becomes the target of a corporate takeover; a local critic who teaches literature struggles with his ambitions and with his feelings about Yoder s success; and a devoted reader holds the key to solving the mystery that haunts Yoder s hometown.

    The book I bought was exactly as described (practically mint, considering its age), packed safely & securely, and shipped right away - thank you! This book is, by the way, a great one, at a terrific price especially for being such a hard to find, long out of print, sequel to Daniel Pinkwater’s classic “Young Adult Novel”).
