"Stegner's novel Angle of Repose (first published by Doubleday in early 1971) won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1972.[2] It was based on the letters of Mary Hallock Foote (first published in 1972 by Huntington Library Press as the memoir A Victorian Gentlewoman in the Far West). Stegner explained his use of unpublished archival letters briefly at the beginning of Angle of Repose but his use of uncredited passages taken directly from Foote's letters caused a continuing controversy."

They took Laura Ingalls Wilder's name off a literary award, but they didn't do that with Mark Twain or Wallace Stegner for some reasons, huh?
Anyways, don't know if I want to get too sucked into that stuff. But this could be something I listen to next time I go into the kitchen.
