Close Range Proulx Annie
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning and bestselling author of The Shipping News and Accordion Crimes comes one of the most celebrated short story collections of our time.Annie Proulx's masterful language and fierce love of Wyoming are evident in this collection of stories about loneliness, quick violence, and wrong kinds of love. In The Half-Skinned Steer, an elderly fool drives west to the ranch he grew up on for his brother's funeral, and dies a mile from home. In The Mud Below, a rodeo rider's obsession marks the deepening fissures between his family life and self-imposed isolation.
Enlivened by folk tales, flights of fancy, In Brokeback Mountain, the difficult affair between two cowboys survives everything but the world's violent intolerance.These are stories of desperation, hard times, and unlikely elation, set in a landscape both brutal and magnificent.
