On the heels of last year′s mesmerising film adaptation of ′Brokeback Mountain′ comes this beautiful, single volume collection of Annie Proulx′s celebrated Wyoming stories. Inventive, compassionate and wildly funny, they explore the unbreakable bond between a people and their land in rich and robust language, with an eye for detail unparalleled in American fiction.
In ′The Contest′, the men of Elk Tooth, Wyoming, vow to put aside their razors for two seasons and wait to see who has the longest beard come the 4th of July. Deb Sipple, the moving protagonist of ′That Trickle Down Effect′, finds that his opportunism - and his smoking habit - lead to massive destruction. And ′What Kind of Furniture Would Jesus Pick?′ is the story of Gilbert Wolfscale, whose rabid devotion to his ranch drives away his wife and sons.
Every story of this stunning collection is a tribute to Proulx′s wit, her knowledge of the West, and her profound sympathy for characters who must use sheer will and courage to make it in such unforgiving territory.
