Moving backward and forward across time, he writes about the many strands of his experience: his passion for travel- his lifelong infatuation with literature, music, and painting- his liberal credo and his adventures in politics- and the hard work, headaches, and rewards of the writing life.
Here at last is the real James Michener, plainspoken, wise, and enormously sympathetic, a man who could truly say, The world is my home.
