Franklin Library, PA: Franklin Library, 1978. Limited Edition. 733pp. Octavo [24.5 cm] Full tan leather with decorative gilt stamping. A.E.G. Near fine. This is Wallace Stegner's big book, that is a semi-autobiographical work about his childhood in the west. "The Big Rock Candy Mountain came to me in big lumpish nineteenth-century terms, and I just did it in chronologically, from beginning to end." - Wallace Stegner. Wallace Earle Stegner (1909-1993) was an American novelist, short story writer, environmentalist, and historian, often called 'The Dean of Western Writers'. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1972 and the U.S. National Book Award in 1977, and through his writing program at Stanford University, influenced generations of writers (Edward Abbey, Ken Kesey, Wendell Berry, Larry McMurtry). Colberg A7.7.
Sinopsis
Bo Mason, his wife, Elsa, and their two boys live a transient life of poverty and despair. Drifting from town to town and from state to state, the violent, ruthless Bo seeks out his fortune—in the hotel business, in new farmland, and, eventually, in illegal rum-running through the treacherous back roads of the American Northwest. Stegner portrays more than thirty years in the life of the Mason family in this masterful, harrwoing saga of people trying to survive during the lean years of the early twentieth century.
