Malcolm Cowley has said of Stegner's work: "He has a poet's feel for the tears of things...and leaves one with the feeling of having looked through new windows at a new landscape." These stories set in California and Vermont, Salt Lake City and Hollywood, Saskatchewan, Egypt, France, the Philippines, and nameless places explore young love and older wisdom; the order and consistency of the natural world and the chaos, contradictions, and yet continuities of humans. There is sweet love in a berry patch; there are bittersweet reunions, trials and tests of manhood and friendship, and the sometimes foolish and impractical yet noble dreams of man.
