A quiet and remarkable tome comprising an unusual range of styles in fiction, essays, and historical musings. I was not able to read every word as some of the subject matter went beyond the bounds of my interest in prairie life. However, the first few chapters as well as some of the fiction and the epilogue contained some of the most meaningful prose I've ever read. Given the sensitivity and incisiveness of his writing, I am puzzled that Wallace Stegner is not more commonly mentioned in conversation or in his colleagues' works.
