Wallace Stegner: His Life and WorkIn a career spanning more than fifty years, Wallace Stegner (1909 93) emerged as the greatest contemporary author of the American West writing more than two dozen works of history, biography, essays, and fiction, including the Pulitzer Prize winning Angle of Repose and the bestselling Crossing to Safety.

In a career spanning more than fifty years, Wallace Stegner (1909-93) emerged as the greatest contemporary author of the American West--writing more than two dozen works of history, biography, essays, and fiction, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning Angle of Repose and the bestselling Crossing to Safety. Jackson J. Benson's Wallace Stegner: His Life and Work is the first full-dress biography of this celebrated "Dean of Western Writers."
Drawing on nearly ten years of research and unlimited access to Stegner's letters and personal files, Benson traces the trajectory of Wallace Stegner's life from his birth on his grandfather's Iowa farm to his prominence as an award-winning writer, critic, historian, environmental activist, and teacher, and as founder of Stanford's creative writing program.
But Benson's book is as much a consideration of Stegner's literary legacy as it is a retelling of his life. His critical reassessment of the entire body of Stegner's work argues convincingly for his subject's place in the literary canon--not merely as a "regional" Western writer but straightforwardly as one of the great American writers of the twentieth century.

Great Sheets!
Size: Twin, Color: Oatmeal
Super soft, wash up beautifully, seem well made — very happy! It’s very hard to find 100% cotton t-shirt type sheets and these are really lovely.

Weirdly textured
Size: King, Color: Dark Gray
I have bought and loved jersey sheets in the past, that have all been as soft as a well worn cotton t-shirt. These arent soft. They have the stretch of jersey, but not the soft smooth texture that they should have. Even after washing a few times these are one of my least favorite sheets I've ever bought on Amazon.

Top sheet changes everythang
Color: Solid Off White(flat Sheet Only), Size: Twin
There are a lot of negative reviews due to the price for what is only a top sheet. It is a bit pricy, though I sleep in a twin so it wasn’t too bad. However I read reviews for cheaper top sheets and theres so many stories of them falling apart, pilling, or feeling terrible. Absolutely no pilling or falling apart after the first wash and dry. Stuck it right on my bed and its very cozy and fits perfectly. Not too hot and not too cold. For any first time bedsheet shoppers: i wasnt sure what type i’d want. Cotton? Microfiber? Sateen? I went with jersey because I think the one my mom uses was that and i loved it as a kid. This definitely feels like a thicker T shirt- not as plush soft or smooth as I wanted, but not rough by any means. Its not clingy either. I swapped from a microfiber (cheap set from walmart with cartoon characters on it) and the top sheet literally changed everything. I don’t toss and turn at night! I wake up and it takes seconds to make my bed- i’m not untying a huge knot. It adds such a tiny bit of weight thats so comfy and cozy and not hot. You can be certain you’re not taking a risk with this brand at the price. Very mych happy with my purchase and have been sleeping a lot better.

Not lightweight
Color: Charcoal Dark Grey(flat Sheet Only), Size: Twin
Bought for use as a summer blanket, the weight is heavier than expected and may prove too warm. Otherwise, seems to be a well-made product.
