Pulitzer prize-winning author Annie Proulx's most recent work-a haunting and powerful collection of short stories that connect the isolated people of a vast and hostile landscape: the state of Wyoming. These interconnected tales of farmers, ranchers, cowboys, rodeo riders, storekeepers, freeloaders, tractors, and the men and women who attempt to love them are riddled with a sense that blunt violence is the logical option in a place of too much space and too little security, but they also open up surprising moments of pure elation. The last story in the collection must be read to be believed-you'll never look at the Marlboro Man in the same way again.
