His deeply analytical approach to everything makes you pause at each moment. In his novel "Crossing to Safety" his well drawn characters come to life. Stegner's observations are thoughtfully executed in a unique fashion.
This is the first book I have ever heard where the writing was more exciting than the plot. Before long, one reads each page, feeling you know these people. As a writer myself, I can honestly say I learned more about writing from reading Wallace Stegner.
I would highly recommend this book.
