I dont remember past Michener books being this misogynistic. But in each story/chapter, we have the Brave Man who is always brought down by the Tempting Woman. Or the Scheming Woman.

Culliname is just disgusting. He is once again fantasying about the woman who has told him no multiple times, but believes that he will carry her away from the desert to Chicago. Imagining the thanks and the name change that would be in his report. How 'saucy'.

This Cullinane Bar-El 'romance' in the first chapter is just...unnecessary. Also, a number of these paragraphs should be in that "man writes about a woman" site. He grabs her and kisses her, she pulls away and laughs, then she slaps him and concludes with sobbing on his chest.
Gross. The first chapter is set in the 60s; It shouldnt be this bad.
