The Spectator Bird
by Wallace Stegner
FIRST LINE REVIEW: "On a February morning, when a weather front is moving in off the Pacific but has not quite arrived, and the winds are changeable and gusty and clouds drive over and an occasional flurry of fine rain darkens the terrace bricks, this place conforms to non of the cliches about California with which they advertise the Sunshine Cities for the Sunset Years." Well, I really tried and wanted to like this one by one of my favorite authors, but I could never quite get there. All the reasons for wanting to like it were there, but I just could "not quite arrive." Instead, I simply felt like the "spectator bird," watching it all from a great distance without being able to truly connect...and care (much).
