Kirie,

I’m so glad you enjoyed this posting of the essay. I’m honestly not that familiar with most of Stegner’s writings, however, this essay says so eloquently how I feel on many subjects.

What’s so arresting about this essay is the fact that while it was written over 50 years ago, the words hold true as much today as they ever did.

Thank you for taking the time to comment and I’m glad this essay has “found” another person.

Melissa

His writing is amazing, and he is a favorite writer of mine. He was also loved by my friend, who recently died, and who requested this essay be read at her memorial service in December. His believes so summed up hers.

I was thinking of a few lines from it recently, and I was so glad to find it here. Thank you again.

K.
