Close Range: Wyoming Stories

Wyoming Stories

Book 1 of 2 in Wyoming Stories

2000

by Annie Proulx

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning and bestselling author of The Shipping News and Accordion Crimes comes a celebrated short-story collection. Annie Proulx's masterful language and fierce love of Wyoming are evident in these tales of loneliness, quick violence, and the wrong kinds of love. Each portrait in Close Range reveals characters fiercely wrought with precision and grace.

These are stories of desperation and unlikely elation, set in a landscape both stark and magnificent.
The stories include:

  • The half-skinned steer
  • The mud below
  • 55 miles to the gas pump
  • The bunchgrass edge of the world
  • A lonely coast
  • Job history
  • Pair a spurs
  • People in Hell just want a drink of water
  • The governors of Wyoming
  • The blood bay
  • Brokeback Mountain

This collection showcases an author writing at the peak of her craft.
