Depending on the elements and on their own resourcefulness, the Keats family thrives in the rhythms of island life-fishing, learning to navigate the river and read the clouds for weather, acquiring an \"Indian\" view of time, maintaining a house, several boats, and three children on a windswept rock. But more than a book about a single family's adventures, this one is strong witness that we all need islands of our own in the midst of life. Originally published in 1974, Of Time and an Island was chosen as a Book-of-the-Month Club alternate selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Keats\u003c\/b\u003e was the author of fourteen nonfiction books, including bestsellers \u003ci\u003eYou Might As Well Live, \u003c\/i\u003e the biography of Dorothy Parker, \u003ci\u003eHoward \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eHughes, The Insolent Chariots, The Crack in the Picture Window, and Eminent \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eDomain.\u003c\/i\u003e His books have been translated into seven languages, and he authored hundreds of magazine articles.
