A beloved and distinguished novelist, he was also director of Stanford University's prestigious creative writing program. Here, he reads excerpts from The Spectator Bird and his last novel, Crossing to Safety. The selection from The Spectator Bird tells the devilishly uproarious story of narrator Joe Allston's very stormy ocean crossing to Denmark, where he and his wife plan to search out his roots. Crossing to Safety tells of a lifelong friendship between 2 couples, one wealthy but personally and professionally unfulfilled, the other poor but successful. Stegner reads excerpts dealing with a hiking and camping trip the 2 couples take together when they are young.
