Remarkable. I am a big fan of Angle of Repose, so I was pretty sure I would like this video. Still, there is something magical about it that will sit with me for a long time.

Since you liked Angle of Repose you should give The Big Rock Candy Mountain a read. It's excellent. I also liked his novel Crossing to Safety is good too.

I love this overview of Stegner's life and work. This encourages and challenges me.

My grandmother's home was next door to his boyhood home in Eastend, SASK, Canada. It is now a museum and place for budding writer's to stay and enjoy. His novel 'Wolf Willow' was his early years there. My mother knows many of the people he talks about in his book.

I always take 'Wolf Willow' with me on backpacking trips-his writing is truly a treat to read.

I have read 'Big Rock Candy Mountain' several times. I had an uncle and aunt who were very much like Bo Mason and Elsa. They were from the Dakotas and Montana. It was after the second reading when I realized that Elsa was the strong one and not Bo.

Reading Angle of Repose for my book club. I already started it and like it. So I hope the old ladies in our club don't chicken out and change the selection once they see it's almost 600 pages. Can you believe they complain when books are long? It's a BOOK club. You're supposed to like reading. ??

Seems like "Big Rock Candy Mountain" is somewhat autobiographical!
