Review Quotes: "Wallace Stegner's is one of the most beguiling voices of [the] era, and The Spectator Bird is one of his most appealing works."--Jane Smiley, from the introduction
"A fabulously written account of regret, memory and the subtleties and challenges of a long successful marriage. Stegner deals with the dual threads of the novel with aplomb.... A thoughtful, crystalline book." --Matthew Spencer, The Guardian "There are rivers undammed, desert vistas unspoiled and forests uncut in the wondrous West because of his pen." --Timothy Egan, The New York Times
