I've just spent a good hour or more at the LC Web braille
site going throu the bibliographical listings on Michener
and every single entry shows a date of birth only. Are you sure he's dead?
I know, 1907 makes him pretty old, but not a single entry shows a date of
death, and LC usually indicates that. Some of the entries I believe show
acquisitions for him as recent as 2004, too. I would expect that when they
make up a card entry for a particular title and version of a book, author
info should be updated. And I don't remember hearing he died. I'm not
saying I doubt you, but any idea when, roughly? Not remembering that I
heard that, really would make me feel old!

Hi David and list:
I read the novel so long ago that I'm sure I should reread
it. I read it on
NLS cassette while in high school. Thank you and Shannon for
an excellant
idea. I'll check my sources for a copy. I was sure sad the
day Mitchener
died.
Cheers,
Dave
