Pohnpei in Fiction
Pohnpei's role in the Mythos was inspired by the ruins of Nan Madol (see above), which had already been used as the setting for a lost race story by Abraham Merritt, The Moon Pool, in which the islands are called Nan-Matal. Some people believe Nan Madol to be connected to the lost continent of Lemuria.
Pohnpei and the ruins of Nan Madol also play a central role in author James Rollins' book, Deep Fathom.
These are also featured in Clive Cussler's 2009 novel Medusa.
Pohnpei, or "Ponape" as it is spelled, is stated as the home island of "Mike" on the popular blog Dunce Upon A Time, authored by BC Woods.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:
“My mother ... believed fiction gave one an unrealistic view of the world. Once she caught me reading a novel and chastised me: “Never let me catch you doing that again, remember what happened to Emma Bovary.””
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
