Lecture: The Law of Nature and the Dream of Man

From the NYPL Public Programs Brochure for Fall/Winter 1988/1989:

Wallace Stegner's first novel, Remebering Laughter, was published fifty years ago; in the years since he has had a profound effect upon contemporary American fiction. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1972 for Angle of Repose and recipient of the National Book Award in 1977 for The Spectator Bird, Mr. Stegner is described by the Washington Post as "one of our greatest contemporary writers." Long respected as a teacher of writing, Wallace Stegner is the founder of the Stanford Writing Program, which has influenced many young American writers. His most recent novel, Crossing to Safety, will be published in paperback by Penguin in September.
