In celebration of Wallace Stegner‘s birthday today, I share this photograph I took of his typewriter. It’s on display in the Special Collections section of the University of Utah library in Salt Lake City. Although this isn’t a great photo, I do love seeing desks or tools used by wonderful writers!

Andrea, which is your favorite Stegner book? I’ve been trying to remember if I met him when I was working at the bookstore in Salt Lake City in the early 80s. I know he was a special guest there.
