Angle of Repose (Pulitzer Prize Winner) by Wallace Stegner

4.4/5

First published in 1971 and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1972, Wallace Stegner's Angle of Repose is a structurally ambitious novel that layers a wheelchair-bound historian's present-day reckoning with his own fractured life against a deeply researched portrait of frontier America — and it remains one of the most celebrated works in the American literary canon, ranked #82 on the Modern Library's list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. Its sweep, its dual-timeline architecture, and the ethical controversy surrounding its source material make it a book that rewards serious engagement — and equally serious scrutiny.
