Crossing to Safety: Part 3

Welcome back to Close Reads. In this episode, David, Angelina, Heidi, and Graeme chat about the final chapter of Wallace Stegner's Crossing to Safety. Discussion touches on the conflict between the Mogan's and Lang, what makes the ending moving, whether the ending was unexpected, the loveliness of the final two lines, the book's ambiguity, and much more (plus, Graeme tells a story about Halloween candy, in a call back to an old episode).

Close Reads Podcast
Close Reads is a book-club podcast for the incurable reader. Featuring David Kern, Tim McIntosh and Heidi White, alongside a couple of other occasional guests, we read Great Books and talk about them. This is a show for amateurs in the best sense. We’re book lovers, book enthusiasts. This is not an experts show and it’s barely literary analysis in the way that literary analysis is commonly understood. Instead it’s a show about experiences with literary urge. Join us!
