The headline tells you all you need to know. So turn off the football game and prepare to receive some wisdom. The Center of the American West in Boulder, Colo., named McPhee its 2011 Wallace Stegner Award recipient, and the great man read from his Encounters with the Archdruid and took questions. The Open Notebook has an edited transcript of the Q&A. And you can download an MP3 of the entire session (1:20 in length) at the center's site.
