Bad Dirt: Wyoming Stories 2 by Annie Proulx

5.0

---

I don't normally read books of short stories - I just find them strangely undernourishing. But when thee writer is as technically skillful and funny as Annie Proulx, I can make exceptions. Some of these stories are satisfying in themselves, and yes, the standard varies. But the best ones leave you gasping for more - how can they end so soon? One of my favourite writers.
