Close Range
by E. Annie Proulx
by E. Annie Proulx
Tell you what, them queer cowboys like to broke my heart. Annie Proulx, I wish I knew how to quit you.
Your strange mix of roughed up realism and supernatural does something to my insides. It’s too much for ordinary sentence structure. Pours out all over the confines of punctuation, seeping into my subconscious until I’m drunk and reeling reading just a sentence then a few paragraphs and soon the whole story to anyone who’ll listen. And still I want more.

My cousin and her daughter love this author. I asked where to start. One of them started with My Sister's Keeper. What do you think?

I've only read this collection and The Shipping News, which didn't light my fire the way that this did. I loved the writing, but somehow the story itself fell flat for me. Very possibly just the frame of mind I was in at the time. I might try it again. The Wyoming stories are grittier. I guess I like that.
