adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. A precise and poetic collection of short stories, full of vivid imagery, both beautiful and grotesque, about how hard and hopeless it is to be a Wyoming cowboy. I found it hard to put down. ( )Close Range: Wyoming Stories sets a very harsh, violent, sad landscape for its characters. Poverty and a sense of futility is in every story. Every situation is a lesson in survival and dealing with the crappy hand you have been dealt. Words like stark and bleak and depressed come to mind. The characters are born into a way of life that has barely any opportunity for change. There is no easy means of escape. The brutality of the landscape is matched only by the grit of its inhabitants. Oddly enough, the book containing Annie Proulx's masterpiece, "Brokeback Mountain," was mostly a dud. I did not finish the book. Most of the stories were uninvolving and often unconvincing. Stark and beautiful prose. This is about as near a perfect collectioibn of short stories as I have read with 'Brokeback Mountain' being the best - so good that I can't bring myself to watch the film as it will only disappoint. The collection feels like a series of prose poems where Annie Proulx has slaved over the placing of every word in order to convey rich emotion in a sparse environment. Loved it. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
