Bad Dirt by Annie Proulx
2.0
This collection didn't hit me in quite the same way Close Range did. Proulx's stories are bleak and real while maintaining this level of absurdity throughout, and Bad Dirt continues that. But there weren't any real standouts. Reading Close Range, I'd have to put the book down after each story just to get over the ending. I wanted a little more from these.
However, it did introduce me to the best character name in Annie Proulx history: Fiesta Punch (And choosing a favorite is saying something because she comes up with the greatest character names in literature).
