Trade Review

‘Proulx writes in wonderful stews, everything thrown in together…the stories demand a second reading.’ Daily Telegraph

‘Her keen eye for idiosyncrasy ensures her continuing reputation as one of the shrewdest chroniclers of contemporary America.’ David Robson, Sunday Telegraph

‘Vivid and evocative…as [the stories] gather force, you find yourself being drawn in to their momentum.’ Financial Times

‘Proulx['s]…stories’ sour sometimes brutal folksiness gains a singular resonance from the fine, sinewy prose in which they are rendered.’ The Times

‘Packed with grittily persuasive detail, they feel both modern and as timeless as the Wyoming plains.’ Marie Claire

‘Performs inspired imaginative feats.’ Alex Clark, Sunday Times
