I am looking forward to reading another book by Stegner!<br /><br />Kind regards,Bettina Grissenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024188013121464014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152763927552819928.post-10721065983140839182017-01-30T16:30:16.932+01:002017-01-30T16:30:16.932+01:00I just finished Stoner and thought of Wallace Steg...I just finished Stoner and thought of Wallace Stegner's Crossing to Safety. Your blog popped up when I Googled Stegner and Williams. Stegner is one my favorite authors, but I must admit that Williams' Stoner is at least as good CTS. It is even more impressive given when and where it was written. Stegner had the resources of Stanford's Creative Writing program. On second thought that might have diverted his attention from his own work (I believe he said as much.). Nonetheless, Williams is an under appreciated gem. Looking forward to Butcher's Crossing.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131717103760191517noreply@blogger.com
