Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Web posted at: 12:28 a.m. EDT (0428 GMT) 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. 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

Extractions: Great quotes to inspire, empower and motivate you to live the life of your dreams and become the person you've always wanted to be! C haracter consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries. Although most of us know Vincent van Gogh in Arles and Paul Gauguin in Tahiti as if they were neighbors somewhat disreputable but endlessly fascinating none of us can name two French generals or department store owners of that period. I take enormous pride in considering myself an artist, one of the necessaries. I am always interested in why young people become writers, and from talking with many I have concluded that most do not want to be writers working eight and ten hours a day and accomplishing little; they want to have been writers, garnering the rewards of having completed a best-seller. They aspire to the rewards of writing but not to the travail. I was brought up in the great tradition of the late nineteenth century: that a writer never complains, never explains and never disdains.
