  BookPage Interview Month 2001: Leif Enger
Enger, who has wanted to write fiction since his teens, was a reporter and producer for Minnesota Public Radio from 1984 until the sale of Peace Like a River to publisher Grove/Atlantic allowed him to take time off to write.
From that beginning, Enger weaves a story that is a surprising and beguiling mix of heroic quest, cowboy romance and moral fable.
But such is Enger's unflagging, high-spirited storytelling that the relationship between Reuben and his cowboy poet sister is a high point of the novel.

 Review | Peace Like A River by Leif Enger
Enger takes the best of writers -- like John Irving, Tony Earley and J.D. Salinger -- then stakes his own territory to create a story about family, faith and fugitives that's as rich in language as it is plot.
Enger -- who, along with his brother Lin has written a series of mysteries under the pseudonym L.L. Enger -- strikes me as someone who paid close attention to details as he was growing up.
He was the kid you always see in the backyard flat on his stomach watching how the earthworm moves through grass; or the one who remembers how cake frosting clings to the spoon (in a "fist-sized gob," in case you've forgotten).

 Interview with Leif Enger - 2004 - If All of Rochester Read the Same Book… - Writers & Books
Enger: Robert Louis Stevenson is a great master whose books I keep returning to; he was ahead of his time for precise yet informal prose, for deep stories cloaked as adventures for young readers, for flawed heroes you like well and complicated villains you like better.
Enger: Maybe some have, though I’m no prophet of cultural freefall—as long as we have the choice to read what we want, I suspect Twain and Homer and the rest will always be with us.
Enger: I started writing a novel immediately after finishing school; it was completely terrible and I was glad to put it away when Lin suggested we write a crime book.

 Bookreporter.com - PEACE LIKE A RIVER by Leif Enger
To borrow a phrase from Reuben, narrator of Leif Enger's debut novel PEACE LIKE A RIVER, "Make of that what you will." It's an undisputed fact as far as Reuben is concerned and a key part of his story about his family's quest to find his fugitive older brother, Davy.
Occasionally, his tendency to address the reader directly is a bit jarring; on the other hand, it also draws the reader into the narrative, breaking down some of the traditional distance between narrator and reader, an essential device for substantiating the story's miracles.
Enger has crafted a moving story and placed it in the mouth of a refreshingly open and candid narrator.
