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
