The writing of Annie Proulx is literally unique. No one else has been able to eloquently depict regions as well as the one mapped out by William Faulkner Yoknapatawpha.
Proulx introduces the reader to a world beyond our imagination, which seems so alive that it appears inevitable. Her deep knowledge of the West, History, the lives of ranchers, and the will needed to live in a harsh and adversarial region, allows her to describe her heroes with vividness and vitality.
These nine impressive stories are characterized by subtle humor and profound wisdom.
The people of the "American Dream" country are different, some are millionaires, others are dreamers trying to escape their everyday life, and some think that the rest are wrong.
With her bold, original prose and her captivating attention to detail, Proulx has written the most stunning collection of short stories in American Literature.
