With subjects ranging from the writer’s own “migrant childhood” to the need to protect what remains of the great western wilderness (which Stegner dubs “the geography of hope”) to poignant profiles of western writers such as John Steinbeck and Norman Maclean, this collection is a riveting testament to the power of place. At the same time it communicates vividly the sensibility and range of this most gifted of American writers, historians, and environmentalists.]]> 157779 4.13 13461 2319 10807 0140266739 9780140266733 29 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166334108m/10807.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10807.Recapitulation 3.73 215 157779 4.13 13461 2319 10802 0140159940 9780140159943 33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166334106m/10802.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10802.Beyond_the_Hundredth_Meridian_John_Wesley_Powell_and_the_Second_Opening_of_the_West 4.04 180 157779 4.13 13461 2319 89322 0140252401 9780140252408 30 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171153363m/89322.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/89322.Remembering_Laughter 3.65 178 157779 4.13 13461 2319 14899 0803293054 9780803293052 17 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166668635m/14899.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14899.Mormon_Country 3.80 129

Thus, he is unusually qualified to address the issue of teaching writing. Stegner calls to task those instructors who use their classrooms to create a coterie of copiers, as well as those indulgent professors who rhapsodize about their students' work without warrant. "Young writers should be encouraged to write," he says, "and discouraged from thinking they are writers," as the process of becoming a writer is a "long, long apprenticeship." Instead, a writing instructor need have "sympathy, empathy, [and] a capacity to enter into another mind without dominating it." Finally, he says, it is by way of the Socratic method that writers should be educated. "Talent can't be taught, but it can be awakened.... All a teacher can do is set high goals for students--or get them to set them for themselves--and, then, try to help them reach those goals." --Jane Steinberg]]> 157779 4.13 13461 2319 1170329 0803291108 9780803291102 2 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181607731m/1170329.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1170329.The_Women_on_the_Wall 3.93 15

Written during World War II and its immediate aftermath, the eighteen stories of The Women on the Wall move from women to war and back again, but it is the women who remain central. There are Alma, a war bride who runs a farm better than the neighbor men; Lucy, a former WAAF, working through college; Tamsen, who keeps her husband drunk so she can do as she pleases; and the women on the wall, who, with nothing to do but wait for their husbands to return from the war, find their private consolations. To these stories Wallace Stegner brings the same skill and thoughtfulness that won him the National Book Award for The Spectator Bird

BACKCOVER: “This book is an attempt, by sampling, to say something about how the American people and the American land have interacted, how they have shaped one another; what patterns of life, with what chances of continuity, have arisen out of the confrontations between an unformed society and a virgin continent. Perhaps it is less a book about the American land than some ruminations about the making of America. . . . We are the unfinished product of a long becoming.”
—from American Places

“The text by the Stegners is precise, to the point, packed with useful information and infused with that love for our land and its honest workers which is the highest form (perhaps the only form) of patriotism.”

"Incisive, restrained character delineation reminiscent of Willa Cather. Strongly recommended."—Library Journal



"Second Growth . . . is a creation of remarkable penetration and skill. Its small, accurate touches build up to a full and firm whole. Its objectivity, its air of knowledge and judgment, are accompanied by an almost lyrical, delicately restrained tenderness. Its prose is disciplined, sensitive and luminous."—New York Times
