The Art of Fiction No. 118
Briefly

Stegner has published thirteen novels, three short-story collections, sixteen nonfiction titles, and has edited eighteen works in the fifty-three years he has been publishing books.
And also, there are those who know Stegner as a 'damned environmentalist.' During the Kennedy Administration, Stegner became a special assistant to former Interior Secretary Stewart Udall.
Stegner alternates between genuine modesty, subversive silence, and cantankerability. Suggest a connection between Stegner's teaching years at Stanford (1946-1971) and the success of his students, and Stegner demurs.
