Angle of Repose is a literary fiction book by author Wallace Stegner. The Angle of Repose is a story of discovery – personal, historical and geographical – that exists as the master work of Wallace Stegner: the illumination of yesterday’s reality for today.
Wallace Stegner focuses on the unique American classic by Lyman Ward, a renowned historian recounting the fictional biography of his pioneering grandparents at a time when he was shunned by his family.
Through a combination of research, memory and exaggeration, Ward articulates ideas concerning the relationship between history and the present, art and life, parents and children, husbands and wives. Lyman Ward’s investigation leads him deep into the darkness of his own life. The result is a deeply moving novel that, through the lens of a family, illuminates present Americans against the compelling backdrop of their past.
