What is the theme in Travels by Michael Crichton?

The writing life is another theme in this non-fiction book. Michael Crichton is a famous American author and screenwriter. It is quickly apparent in the book that writing is something that Michel Crichton was born to do. First published by the New York Times at the age of thirteen, Crichton seemed to have a natural ability to write and create. This was in spite of the fact that Crichton's father, Nick, was a journalist and an extremely harsh critic that did little if anything to encourage his son.
