General Note
Just how does one characterize a book like Wolf Willow? Do we look for it on the shelves of Western Americana or on the fiction table, or over in the autobiography section? A number of its reviewers didn't quite know what to make of a bouillabaisse of reminiscence, history, and drama either. "It's a librarian's nightmare, Stegner himslef once said. "How do you catalogue it?" --introduction, Penguin books, 1990."
