Crossing to safety5/25/2023 Thurs, July 9, 5-6:30 PM, VLS Cornell Seminar Room: During a 90-minute session at the Vermont Law School in South Royalton, we'll discuss Crossing to Safety, first examining it as Stegner intended it to be read: as a work of literary fiction. One of these, Crossing to Safety, provides the focus for this program, which will examine how Vermont shaped Stegner's work and how his feelings for Vermont reflect his larger ideas about conservation and community. He owned property in Greensboro, VT, whose inhabitants and scenery he lightly fictionalized in two novels. Ambition took him to Breadloaf friendship took him to the Northeast Kingdom, where he'd spend part of each of the next 50 years. Stegner, the legendary conservationist and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, is primarily associated with western landscapes, but he had a deep love of Vermont. Join Vermont Law School, The Nature Conservancy, and the bookstore for a special program based on Wallace Stegner's novel, Crossing to Safety, on July 9 and 10.
