Annie Proulx has a special gift that few authors have, that is the ability to live in the characters. I love her ability to bring you in, as though you were actually there, you experience what she is writing about. After I saw B B M, and I was completely overcome with emotions, being that I am, in many ways one of the characters she wrote about. I read the story, then acquired the Close Range, again blown away by her ability to draw you in. Nothing has captured my attention like this, since I read Front Runner, by Patricia Nell Warren, years ago. Thankyou Annie Proulx, for this wonderful story about two (2) men who fall in love. My partner and I, again, in many ways are these two (2) men. We also happen to be cowboys.
well crafted tales

Proulx writes like you wish you could. She creates folks who are more real than you are and situations that force unblinking reexamination of what makes people tough or tender, moral or not. Living on margins and low expectations. Read her and adjust your forced fantasies about noble mankind. Life is very hard outside of suburban America. Cruel and rarely fair.
Brutal stories, beautifully told.
