Product Description
From Pulitzer Prize–winning author Annie Proulx, an "unforgettable" (Miami Herald) and "vivid" (Oprah Daily) collection of stories set in Wyoming.Winner of two O. Henry Prizes, Annie Proulx has been anthologized in nearly every major collection of great American stories. Her bold, inimitable language, her exhilarating eye for detail, her dark sense of humor, and her compassion inform this profoundly compelling collection of stories. Proulx creates a fierce, visceral panorama of American folly and fate in these nine dazzling stories about multiple generations of Americans struggling through life in the West. Each character is a pioneer of a sort—some are billionaires, some are escapists, and some just think the rest of the country has it wrong. Deeply sympathetic to the men and women fighting to survive in this harsh place, Proulx turns their lives into fiction with the power of myth, leaving the reader in awe.
Customer Reviews
Super book! I just love Annie Proulx's writing style! Her words just come off the page and evoke my imagination like no other writer does! Frankly, this book is everything I expected. I was curious about Brokeback Mountain when it appeared in the New Yorker magazine. When I saw the movie I just had to read the story to find out more. If you want to read more about Wyoming and the country life this book is for you! When I go visit my friend's ranch here in New Mexico, Annie Proulx's stories come alive for me. Her writing style, again, is very polished and to the point. I am very happy I ordered this book from Amazon.
