Close Range: Wyoming Stories Proulx, E. Annie

**Close Range: Wyoming Stories by E. Annie Proulx**

Buckle up for eleven brutal, beautiful tales from America's harshest frontier. Proulx drags you through Wyoming's unforgiving landscape where cowboys aren't romantic heroes—they're broken, desperate souls clinging to a dying way of life. From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author who gave us "Brokeback Mountain" comes this collection of stories about isolation, violence, and the crushing weight of tradition.

These aren't your grandfather's westerns. Proulx serves up raw human drama with dark humor and zero sentimentality. Perfect for readers who love literary fiction with grit, fans of Cormac McCarthy, or anyone curious about the real American West beyond Hollywood myths.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks comes ready to transport you to windswept plains and dive bars where dreams go to die (in the best possible way).

**Reader Reviews:**
"Absolutely devastating in the most incredible way. Proulx doesn't pull punches—every story hits like a Wyoming winter."
"These characters stayed with me for weeks. Raw, honest storytelling that makes you grateful for your boring suburban life."
