Episode 22 - Lynn Stegner
from The Song of Rowland: American Culture at Full Volume · host Russell Rowland
When Lynn Stegner met her future husband Page, she had no idea that his father was one of the most famous writers in America, even though she was an aspiring writer. But the first time she met Wallace Stegner in person, they quickly discovered that they had both lived in the same orphanage when they were children, about 45 years apart. They became very close, and as Lynn's career developed, Wallace Stegner became her most valuable mentor. She has since published four novels, a collection of short stories, a tryptic, which is three short novellas, and an anthology that she and I edited together called WEST OF 98: Living and Writing the American West. I had a wonderful time talking to her about her latest novel, The Half-Life of Guilt.Support the show
