About this ebook
Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner Annie Proulx returns with another stellar collection of short stories about the rural American West in the vein of her bestselling, critically acclaimed Close Range.
Annie Proulx’s new collection is peopled by characters who struggle with circumstances beyond their control. Born to ranching, drawn to it, or desperate to get out, they inhabit worlds that are isolated and often dangerous. Trouble comes at them from unexpected angles, and they drive themselves through it, hardheaded and resourceful.
No one writes better than Proulx about the American West and about lives that may no longer be viable. This is a stunning collection about isolation, hardship, and rural community by one of the most vivid and exhilarating writers of our time.
