Stegner Reading- Maddy Oritt

I've been reading Recapitulation and I'm a little over a third of the way through. I am enjoying reading Stegner a lot, having never read his work before. As corny and trite as this sounds, one of the best things, so far, about the Honors College is our exposure to so much literature, spanning cultures and time periods. It's been a (labor-intensive) pleasure to read such a variety of great work, Stegner included. I love reading about the city in a different time period, and it makes me wish for a time machine so I could experience the city as Bruce Mason did in his youth. Having such an intuitive connection to the book because I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, I feel a more visceral connection to Bruce's character and I'm more drawn in to the book because my mental images of the scenery are exceptionally vivid. I'm excited to read more and, at some point in my free time, I think I'll do some poking around to see what pictures I can find of 1920s-era SLC.
