Born 3 February 1907, US Pulitzer prize-winning author James A Michener. Amongst many wonderful novels, he wrote The Drifters (1971), which I enjoyed so much as a young man, it inspired me to travel to Europe in 1978 to live abroad for six months with my girlfriend. #JamesAMichener

Mastodon, Matriarch & the Narrative Power of Naming in Michener’s Alaska Some thoughts on storytelling, derived from an especially well-told Alaskan megafaunal story

Hm! #Alaska is trending for some reason. It probably isn't because everyone is rushing to #Medium to read my #BookSky baiting think-piece on #JamesAMichener 's #novel, but that's no reason I shouldn't benefit, don't you think? 💁‍♀️
