	Book Review: Bad Dirt by Annie Proulx
		Proulx’s roamed from esoteric wilds in Vermont to Newfoundland to the Texas panhandle in search of the images she needs to display her powerfully arcane truths.
		Whatever Proulx aims her mind at and lays down on the page doesn’t merely work, it rattles and hums.
		She doesn’t research her books and stories, she lives them, like the summer time she spent cooking for a crew at an archeological dig in the Red Desert of her home state.

	Amazon.com: Close Range : Wyoming Stories: Books
		Annie Proulx's voice lands somewhere between the savagely humorous stories of Flannery O'Connor and the sparse and romantic beauty of Raymond Carver -- which, I suppose, is geographically appropriate.
		Annie Proulx has a boundless imagination and a talent for writing that leaves the reader reeling.
		Of all the author's working today I think that Annie Proulx has, hands down, the best descriptive style.

	Wyoming tales shine with a strange glitter
		Proulx, author of "That Old Ace in the Hole" and "Accordion Crimes" and winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award for "The Shipping News," divides her time between Wyoming and Newfoundland and understands the simultaneous influences of tradition and inertia that bind people to places even as their lives fall apart.
		Isolation and hardship, economic and emotional, may be facts of ranch life, but the fantastic still thrives in Proulx's west.
		Nothing here quite compares to the wrenching "Brokeback Mountain," an unconventional cowboy love story and arguably Proulx's best and most affecting short story.

		Bad Dirt is Annie Proulx's second set of Wyoming short stories.

		The fiction of the contemporary, Pulitzer-Prize-winning writer E. Annie Proulx (author of Postcards, Heart Songs, The Shipping News, and Accordian Crimes) portrays the unique landscapes and cultures of places and captures the movement of travel so vividly that her work could be viewed as a kind of travel writing in story and novel form.
		I will investigate the means by which Proulx conveys to readers a sense of the unique atmosphere and way of life in the North American locales in which her characters live or through which they pass.
		By combining minute observation of places and people, painstaking research, and the creative powers of the imagination, Proulx produces work that is as much about the places and times her stories are set in as about the characters who people them.

	Understanding Annie Proulx
		She also traces Proulx's ambitious attempt to define American life in all its aspects, underlining the vast disparity between Americans' idealized vision of their past and the real history of violence and prejudice that has shaped the nation as it is today.
		In addition to examining the lyrical prose, wealth of detail, and distinctive characterization that have brought Proulx widespread praise, Rood identifies and analyzes the novelist's primary thematic concern—the way ordinary people conduct their lives in the face of massive social, economic, and ecological change.
		She discusses how in these works Proulx warns her readers about the dire consequences, for both the globe and those inhabiting it, of the headlong rush toward modernization.

		Proulx\'s books always open with a page of acknowledgements which reveal the type and scope of her research; in addition to allowing the author to express her gratitude to those who helped her, these pages also invite the reader to question the relationship between fact and fiction in Proulx\'s writing.
		Proulx realised that she was “desperate to write”: “After 19 years of writing tedious non-fiction, all these stories were just bottled up inside me”, she told an interviewer.
