![]() Just another facet of realism? Possibly that much about his approach is also to be true. The writing is very admirable and realistic to me, and I’m not surprised by Stegner’s seeming inability to see into the minds of the people surrounding him, because that’s how it actually is, but I was a little disappointed that he either couldn’t or chose not to render them as fully human and equal to himself. I became interested in how the true story compared to this fictionalized version, and was really glad to find out that this particular book wasn’t published until after Philip and Margaret, “Phil” and “Peg” (Sid and Charity) had passed away, and that despite his predictions in the novel, his wife survived him. ![]()
