Stealing Glances: Three Interviews with Wallace Stegner - Hardcover

Frequently called the most western of writers, Stegner talks in these lively interviews about his early training and apprenticeship, about the contemporary situation of western writers, the environment, history and fiction, teaching creative writing, and those writers who have influenced and informed his work.

The interviews reflect Hepworth's familiarity with Stegner's life, work, and ideas and, as a result, reveal more than earlier published interviews about Stegner's thoughts on the craft of writing, the nature of literature, and his own experiences as a writer. He addresses important questions on his Pulitzer Prize-winning Angle of Repose and the most autobiographical of his novels, Crossing to Safety.

These conversations from a long and productive career will appeal to fans of Stegner's work and scholars alike.
