Bad Dirt: Wyoming Stories 2 by Annie Proulx

3.0

Reading these western-american short stories made me realize how different a rural lifestyle could be (Proulx wrote the short story that inspired "Brokeback Mountain," in case you were wondering who she is). Some cool magical realism (or "hyperrealism" if you are a snooty), and a few unpredictable female characters. Proulx can overdo the imagery but is usually tasteful.
