A Sense of Place

Rating:
Summary: About roots and living in a fragile west.
Review: Drawing on his own childhood experience of rootlessness, moving about in western North America, Stegner digs deeply into our connection with place. Much of it is an account of personal history. From there he moves into a very touching analysis of living in the west and the impact we are having on the ecosystems of the west.

Stegner's use of the language is powerful. We've listened to the tape several times, while traveling, and it never ceases to move and to inform.
