Book • 1991
The Novel, published in 1991, is a departure from James A. Michener's better-known historical fiction works.
The story is told from the perspectives of four different characters: Lukas Yoder, the author of a popular series of historical Amish novels; Yvonne Marmelle, his editor; Karl Streibert, a new literary figure trying to rise from Yoder's shadow; and Jane Garland, an avid reader and prominent citizen of the fictional Pennsylvania Dutch town of Grenzler.
The novel discusses various aspects of writing and the lives of those involved in the literary world, often reflecting on Michener's own writing style and techniques.
