I enjoyed this, though I wonder whether like his protagonist, he has to rush the ending. He conveys well the hard life of his 19th century characters trying to make a living in the desserts and mountains of the West and Mexico, as well as the emotional complexities of human relationships. I think I enjoyed The Spectator Bird a little more. An excellent read for most of the book. Stegner has fantastic prose and his use of metaphor is as good as anyone. I really liked the detailed look at late 19th century life in western America. By the end of the main part of the book I was tired of the whining from Susan Berlinger Ward. I appreciate she was creative and worked hard but she was way too self involved. Loved Oliver though. But the ending was just not good. Didn't like the way the ex-wife snuck in. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Wallace Stegner's uniquely American classic centers on Lyman Ward, a noted historian who relates a fictionalized biography of his pioneer grandparents at a time when he has become estranged from his own family. Through a combination of research, memory, and exaggeration, Ward voices ideas concerning the relationship between history and the present, art and life, parents and children, husbands and wives. Like other great quests in literature, Lyman Ward's investigation leads him deep into the dark shadows of his own life. The result is a deeply moving novel that, through the prism of one family, illuminates the American present against the fascinating background of its past. Set in many parts of the West, Angle of Repose is a story of discovery--personal, historical, and geographical--that endures as Wallace Stegner's masterwork: an illumination of yesterday's reality that speaks to today's.

I carefully read the early chapters, then skimmed summaries of the rest - the plot and characters
were not compelling or intriguing. (
