Criticism
The Scholar of Moab was part of Common Consent's essential readings in Mormonism[3] and is read in at least one course on Mormon literature.[4] Rosalynde Welch writing in Dialogue called it "a wonderfully strange, deeply philosophical narrative that interrogates the nature of the first person" while drawing on Mormon traditions of diaries and regionalism.[5]
