A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'One of the greatest American writers' Independent From Annie Proulx, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Shipping News and "Brokeback Mountain," comes a masterwork: an epic, dramatic novel about the destruction of the world's forests. In the late seventeenth century, two penniless Frenchmen, Ren� Sel and Charles Duquet, arrive in New France, bound to a seigneur for three years in exchange for land, becoming wood-cutters—barkskins. Ren� endures immense hardship, oppressed by the forest he must clear, and is forced to marry a Mi'kmaw woman, leading to descendants caught between two cultures. In contrast, Duquet, crafty and ruthless, escapes the seigneur, becomes a fur trader, and establishes a timber business. Proulx weaves the stories of Sel and Duquet's descendants over three centuries, detailing their journeys across North America, Europe, China, and New Zealand amid brutal conditions, rivalries, accidents, and cultural annihilation. They exploit what seems an infinite resource, leaving modern characters confronting potential ecological collapse. Proulx's genius lies in her vivid characters—greedy, lustful, vengeful, or compassionate—drawing readers in with fierce attention. This novel is a magnificent blend of history and imagination, showcasing Proulx as one of America's most formidable writers.

Annie Proulx, one of America's finest writers, invites us to share her experience in the building of her new home on a rich plot of untouched, unspoilt prairie and her pleasure in uncovering of the layers of American history locked beneath the topsoil.

Annie Proulx has written some of the most original and brilliant short stories in contemporary literature, and for many readers and reviewers, Brokeback Mountain is her masterpiece. Brokeback Mountain was originally published in The New Yorker. It won the National Magazine Award. It also won an O. Henry Prize. Included in this volume is Annie Proulx's haunting story about the difficult, dangerous love affair between a ranch hand and a rodeo cowboy. Also included is the celebrated screenplay for the major motion picture "Brokeback Mountain," written by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana. All three writers have contributed essays on the process of adapting this critically acclaimed story for film.

"The stories in Annie Proulx's new collection are peopled by characters who struggle with circumstances beyond their control in a kind of rural noir half-light. Trouble comes at them from unexpected angles, and they will themselves through it, hardheaded and resourceful. Bound by the land and by custom, they inhabit worlds that are often isolated, dangerous, and in Proulx's prose, vivid." In "What Kind of Furniture Would Jesus Pick?" rancher Gilbert Wolfscale, alienated from his sons, bewildered by his criminal ex-wife, gets shoved down his throat the fact that the old-style ranch life has gone. Several stories concern the eccentric denizens of Elk Tooth, a tiny hamlet where life revolves around three bars. Elk Toothers enter beard-growing contests, scrape together a living hauling hay, catch poachers in unorthodox ways. "Man Crawling Out of Trees" is about urban newcomers from the east and their discovery, too late, that one of them has violated the deepest ethics of the place. Above all, these stories are about the lives of rapidly disappearing rural Americans.
