註釋After successfully publishing his book-length interviews with Truman Capote and Marlon Brando, Grobel approached author James A. Michener as his next subject, and wound up taping their discussions over a 17 year period, right up until the last week of Michener's life. The result is the most comprehensive of all Grobel's "Conversation" books. Michener, who didn't start writing novels until he was 40, was a true citizen of the world. He foresaw the future of countries as diverse as Afghanistan, Poland, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Mexico, Israel, and the U.S. His books-like Hawaii, The Source, Iberia, Sayonara, and Tales of the South Pacific--sold millions of copies and many were made into films or TV miniseries. Conversations with Michener is as relevant today as it was prescient when it first appeared in 1999.
