Today at 1 pm ET, we're jumping back into our Great American Novel Series with a discussion of Wallace Stegner's Angle of Repose.

What makes Angle of Repose a "great American novel"? What does Stegner's writing tell us about the nature of place and the importance of understanding one's history? In what ways is Angle of Repose relevant for readers today? Join us today to find out.

This event will feature Matthew Stewart, Humanities Teacher at The Ambrose School and author of The Most Beautiful Place on Earth: Wallace Stegner in California; Jenn Ladino, Professor of English at the University of Idaho; and Richard Etulain, Professor Emeritus of History and former director of the Center for the American West at the University of New Mexico. The event will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.

Note: In earlier communications for this event, we mistakenly said that it is taking place at 2 pm. Please note that the event is at 1 pm ET, not 2. Thank you for your understanding.
