Proulx's muscular, gritty prose marks her as one of the great stylists of our era. Her chosen territory for this collection of stories is her home state of Wyoming - a macho landscape of rodeo bulls, rattlesnakes and barbed wire - where humans are pitted against nature in a harsh struggle for survival. From the tale of one old man's lonely disorientation in a snowstorm to the elegiac grace of the classic 'Brokeback Mountain', Proulx's wry, wise humour and tough, almost caustic humanity combine to create an aching pathos. Review by LIZ JENSEN (Kirkus UK)

"Seismic. A brilliant writer at the height of her powers"
'Sunday Telegraph'

"A stunning collection of eleven tales about the hard lives of the ranchers, cowpokes and country wives who struggle to survive in an unforgiving environment. Written in a wonderfully flexible style that can be both spare and extravagant, her book has been hailed by American critics as a masterpiece."
'Daily Telegraph'

"Proulx's command of the raw idiom of rodeo-riders and cow-hands is astonishing; it gives her the power to summon up entire lives within a few paragraphs. In all their grim, gritty perfection, these stories reveal a supreme stylist at work."
'Esquire'

"Maybe the best writer in America"
'Independent on Sunday'

"A knockout. Buy this book."
'Observer'

"Magnificent."
'Sunday Times'
