Description

Herman Silverman (a.); Caskie Stinnett (foreword). Even to his closest friend, James Michener was an enigma: he was reserved & aloof, but openly passionate about ideas. He was a methodical planner & an impulsive adventurer, a realist with boundless optimism, a homebody at home anywhere in the world, & a frugal yet generous multimillionaire. No one knew Michener better than Herman Silverman. When they met in 1947, both were veterans of WW2 with uncertain prospects & strong political convictions, & they began a conversation -- & a friendship -- that would endure for more than 50 years. They often disagreed, but they shared an appreciation for the arts & a spirit of adventure. “An intimate portrait of one of America’s most celebrated writers, & a testament to a friendship that flourished for half a century.”
