From one of the greatest writers of our time, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of¿Brokeback Mountain and The Shipping News, Annie Proulx, comes a collection of the most celebrated stories from of her long career, alongside three new stories, gathered together for the first time.
In these stories, Annie Proulx delves into the lives of characters marked by loneliness, violence, desperation and the wrong kinds of love. Across the bracing landscapes of the American West, New England and New Foundland in Canada, we meet rodeo riders and cowboys, ranch and rural workers and down and out drifters. In her most acclaimed story, 'Brokeback Mountain', adapted into an award-winning film, a passionate affair between two cowboys survives everything but the world's intolerance. In each tale, we witness the hard times and unlikely elation of those who feel tied to the land, or are desperate to escape it.
Spanning nearly thirty years and drawn from Proulx's four collections, New and Selected Stories¿gathers her finest and best-loved stories together for the first time. Proulx's titles alone announce the singular genius of a grimly witty and unflinchingly humane writer: 'Tits up in a Ditch'; 'What Kind of Furniture Would Jesus Pick'; 'People in Hell Just Want a Drink of Water'.
Complete with three never before collected stories, this beautifully designed new volume confirms her as a master of the form and celebrates one of the greatest American writers at work today. It will be treasured by existing fans and a new generation of readers alike.
