Wallace Stegner,T.H. Watkins
Nominated for a National Book Critics Circle award, ,Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs, gathers together Wallace Stegnerâ€™s most important and memorable writings on the American West: its landscapes, diverse history, and shifting identity; its beauty, fragility, and power. With subjects ranging from the writerâ€™s own â€œmigrant childhoodâ€ to the need to protect what remains of the great western wilderness (which Stegner dubs â€œthe geography of hopeâ€) to poignant profiles of western writers such as John Steinbeck and Norman Maclean, this collection is a riveting testament to the power of place. At the same time it communicates vividly the sensibility and range of this most gifted of American writers, historians, and environmentalists.
