[EAN: 9780874808513], Neubuch, [PU: Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.: Univ of Utah Pr], MORMON, MORMONS, LEVI PETERSON, BACKSLIDER, MORMON LITERATURE, DIALOGUE: JOURNAL OF THOUGHT, FICTION, MEMOIR, Jacket, 464 pp. Orig. Price $29.95. I will introduce myself with a few facts. I was born and raised in Snowflake, a Mormon town in northern Arizona. I have lived most of my adult life in the cities of the American West. Although I consider myself a religious person, I know very little about God. At first I intended this book to be about wilderness, but as I wrote it, it became an autobiography with many themes. Among these themes are wilderness, my vexed and vexing relationship with Mormonism, my moral and emotional qualities, and my family.' So begins the autobiography of educator and author Levi S. Peterson. Peterson has won a wide readership for his novels and short stories, his prize-winning biography of historian Juanita Brooks, and the essays that have appeared with regularity in western and Mormon literary and historical journals. In his autobiography, Peterson describes growing up on the Mormon frontier of rural Arizona, his growing skepticism with his Mormon faith, his teaching career at Weber State University, and his struggle to understand and master personal crises of confidence that kept him in therapy for almost two decades. Of particular interest to readers familiar with Peterson’s fiction are the many pages devoted to the creative process. "Levi Peterson’s autobiography is an amazing story told with an astonishing candor. His narrative skill, learned through years of writing fiction, creates anticipation. The telling is earnest, engaged, and even ardent. The facts in his life story are never simply that—they are pondered. They become an odyssey of self-discovery and courageous self-revelation. The autobiography, in short, is a rigorously examined life in the sense Socrates meant when he said that the unexamined life is not worth living."—William Mulder, emeritus professor of English, University of Utah<
