Just read the latest Outpost from the NY Times on the slighting of writer Wallace Stegner.
I was struck by the comments. Each of the short passages were written in lucid, clear-tempered prose. These folks were all well read enough to know of Stegner and his competitors and literate enough to voice their own fully functional treaties on his lack of recognition.
There is no writer alive or dead to whom I can mount such an impassioned, learned defense, even if I wanted to.
I’ve got some work to do.
