- <p> Taking a cruise was James Michener's idea of nothing, until
- fieldwork on his new book changed his mind. Caribbean, a 672
- pager that sweeps across the islands like a sea wind, is to be
- his last epic because the 82-year-old author doesn't "have the
- energy for the endless exploration and heavy research." Off on
- another cruise last week, he readied a lecture to fellow
- passengers on the islands' best sights. A favorite stop:
- Grenada, with its harbor "like a Vermeer painting." Michener
- claims to be "the only person confirmed never to have attended
- a ship's midnight buffet." He's too sleepy.
