Stegner's Big Rock Candy Mountain is, like most of his work, a bit dense, prose-wise. It's a tough start, but repays effort after the first couple of chapters. He is very insightful about a particular type of American character, which he depicts at some length in the novel's protagonist, Bo Mason/5(). The Big Rock Candy Mountain by Wallace Stegner is said to be the closest to an autobiographical account of his own childhood. This is the emotionally gripping tale of fictional Bo and Elsa Mason and their two sons, Chester and Bruce, with striking similarities to the childhood of Stegner/5(). The Big Rock Candy Mountain is the biography of Bo Mason, who grew up in the West (including western Canada) too late to be a pioneer and too early to be a politician. Trap-shooter, gambler, bootlegger, real estate entrepreneur, and the like, he yet possesses the fascination and the repulsion on something original, elementary, and unpredictable.

THE BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN. by Wallace Stegner ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 24, This is the most important book Wallace Stegner has done, and he has been marked as "a comer" ever since his memorable novelette, Remembering Laughter. The title of this novel is symbolic (the search for the promise over the mountain — frustrated dreams of power and wealth and happiness); though the mountain itself — yes, with that incredible name — is background for one brief span of happiness.
