Tell Me a Story: Close Range: Wyoming Stories by Annie Proulx

Dear Readers,

How are you?  I hope you have been enjoying your weekend!  I hope you have been reading LOL!  

I have kept my goal of sharing with you short story collections that I admire.  I am in love with short stories!  I came out with my own collection, Peter's Moonlight Photography and Other Stories, a few years ago.  I think why I love the short story format so much would make a good future post :)

This collection is by the author, Annie Proulx, a major contemporary author.  She is an American author who published this collection in 1999.  One of the stories in the collection, Brokeback Mountain, was made into a movie years later which you may have seen.  As a side note-- I love to read the story behind a film when it comes out to see what changes were made.

As a huge nature lover, I was drawn to the setting-- rural Wyoming.  Annie lived in Wyoming at one point in her life.  

I consider the style of this collection realistic fiction.  I was debating whether it would be more helpful for you to break out the main parts such as publication date, style etc in a bulleted format but for now, keeping it all in a letter to you.

Let me know what you think of Close Range!  

Happy Reading!
