PEOPLE, Page 96And the Ship Sailed OnBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
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.
