The Spectator Bird - by Wallace Stegner (Paperback)

The Spectator Bird is a profound, intimate, and affecting novel from one of the most esteemed literary minds of the last century.

This tour-de-force of American literature follows Joe Allston, a retired literary agent who has passed through life as a spectator, as he returns to his mother's birthplace in search of a link with his past.

Uncovering memories both grotesque and poignant, Allston is finally vindicated of his past and laid bare as a man who has never been quite spectator enough.

With a voice that is both beguiling and thoughtful, Wallace Stegner crafts a crystalline book that is a must-read for anyone looking to delve into the complexities of human emotion and the power of memory.
