really liked it

Stegner is one of my favorite authors, so when I found out his daughter published a short book including an interview with him, several of his essays and a letter he wrote to an aspiring author, I was eager to read it. I enjoyed the book, but I don't think it is the best "how to" write fiction book out there. Stephen King's On Writing and Anne Lamont's Bird by Bird are better for that. This is nice quick read if you want to get to know Stegner better and take a peek behind the curtain of his writing to have access to his thoughts and feelings on his fiction writing and life.
