商品描述: Collected Stories of Wallace Stegner (Hardcover)by Wallace Stegner(Author)Publisher:Random House; 1st ed edition (March 24, 1990) Language:English Product Dimensions:9.6 x 6.6 x 1.7 inches Shipping Weight:2.3 pounds From Publishers WeeklyThese 31 classic stories record much of the cultural climate of 20th-century America, its West in particular, constituting, as the NBA and Pulitzer Prize-winning author affectionately notes, not an autobiography, but \"a sort of personal record.\" As combined here, the tales are a window onto a vivid American past that is as focused as a Norman Rockwell painting, although far more astringent and hardly as wholesome. Settings range from Stegner\'s native Canada to Utah, California and Vermont--all memorable places in the author\'s life. The stories are not arranged chronologically: Stegner\'s dark, voyeuristic peek into the lives of women awaiting letters from men serving in WW II gives way to an account of a bloodthirsty boyhood on the hot, flat frontier of a Saskatchewan farm. Best of all is the slicing wit of \"Field Guide to the Western Birds,\" in which a curmudgeon acidly comments on the petulant antics of a would-be virtuoso. Several of the stories have been reshaped and interpolated into such novels as Wolf Willow and The Big Rock Candy Mountain.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
