The Arabian Adventure of Wallace Stegner
This 2007 article answers the question, "What was the nature-loving novelist [Wallace Stegner] doing working for the world's biggest oil company?" Describes how in the mid-1950s Stegner came to produce for the Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco) "'Discovery! The Search for Arabian Oil,' a tormented work-for-hire project about the early days of Saudi oil exploration in the 1930s and 1940s." From the Stanford Magazine.
