Robert Laxalt graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno in 1947. Laxalt joined the staff of the university in 1954, first as director of News and Publications and later as director of the University of Nevada Press, which he founded. He was named a Reynolds Distinguished Visiting Professor and held the position of Distinguished Nevada Author Chair. He is the author of seventeen books, including the critically acclaimed Sweet Promised Land. He lived in Washoe Valley until his death in 2001.
Robert Laxalt's first novel, A Man in the Wheatfield, was published to critical acclaim when it was released in 1964. Time magazine lauded it as "a fascinating, ambiguous allegory of men's various ways of confronting fear, " and The Cleveland Plain Dealer proclaimed it "an emotional experience and a memorable one." Nearly four decades later Laxalt's deeply moving story of a small community in the high deserts of Nevada still resonates with readers.
