Close Range

From the bestselling author of The Shipping News and Accordion Crimes comes one of the most celebrated short-story collections of our time. Annie Proulx's masterful language and fierce love of Wyoming are evident in these unabridged, breathtaking tales of loneliness, quick violence, and the wrong kinds of love. Each of the stunning portraits in Close Range -- including the original story "Brokeback Mountain", the basis for the Academy Award-winning script -- reveals characters fiercely wrought with precision and grace.
