Beschreibung:
Wallace Stegner , 1909 - 1993, aus armen und zerrütteten Verhältnissen stammend, darf als die bedeutendste literarische Stimme des amerikanischen Westens im 20. Jahrhundert gelten. Stegner, der sich auch als Biograf, Kritiker, Essayist und Historiker einen Namen gemacht hatte, unterrichtete an verschiedenen Universitäten, unter anderem in Stanford. Zahlreiche Auszeichnungen wie der Pulitzer-Preis (1972) und der National Book Award (1977) neben namhaften anderen Ehrungen belegen seinen Rang als Klassiker der amerikanischen Moderne.
'This is the age for the short story. None will be better or more worthy of admiration than Wallace Stegner's Collected Stories' Washington Post Book WorldIn a literary career spanning more than fifty years, Wallace Stegner, winner of a Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, has created a remarkable record of the history and culture of twentieth-century America. These thirty-one stories demonstrate why he is acclaimed as one of America's master storytellers. Here are tales of young love and older wisdom, of the order and consistency of the natural world and the chaos, contradictions and continuities of the human being.'Exemplary stories ... The reader of Stegner's writing is immediately reminded of an essential America ... a distinct place, a unique people, a common history, and a shared heritage remembered as only Stegner can' Los Angeles Times
