Stegner's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel--the magnificent story of four generations in the life of an American family.

The unfolding drama of the story of the American West sets the tone for Stegner's masterpiece.
Praise for Angle of Repose…
"Cause for celebration . . . A superb novel with an amplitude of scale and richness of detail altogether uncommon in contemporary fiction."
—The Atlantic Montly
"Brilliant . . . Two stories, past and present, merge to produce what important fiction must: a sense of the enchantment of life."
—Los Angeles Times
"A fine novel, engrossing and mature . . . for when all is said individual lives are very much like bits of detritus, rolling down from the high places of stress and emotion until they reach that place where the tumbling and falling stops and they find their angle of repose. To chronicle this movement as well as this novel does is high art—and first-rate writing."
—San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle
