Philip Fradkin, author of "Wallace Stegner and the American West," went to great lengths to research his book. In addition to doing all the normal research, he physically visited all the places where Stegner ever lived. The result is a very revealing picture of Stegner as a writer, a teacher and a conservationist. As an Iowan and a small part of Augustana College, it was interesting to me to read about Stegner's years at the University of Iowa and his short experience teaching at Augustana. You will have to listen to the interview to learn why his stay was short.
