TENTANG EPISODE INI
Today we're diving into Wallace Stegner's Crossing to Safety, a novel that captures the rare, sustaining friendships between two couples, Sid and Charity Lang, and Larry and Sally Morgan. Though set in Wisconsin during the depression era, the story feels surprisingly relevant. Stegner shows how the right people at the right moments can steady us, shelter us, and make us grateful for the friendships that have become our own crossings to safety. It's beautifully written and tastes like comfort food in literary format.
We're joined by fellow book-clubber Amanda Frost, who recommended this novel and will help us explore why it remains essential reading, especially as we drift deeper into a world where genuine connection can feel increasingly scarce amid all the noise of AI and social media.
