A new short-story collection from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Shipping News and Accordion Crimes. Includes the acclaimed stories, Brokeback Mountain (winner of a National Magazine Award) and The Mud Below.
Annie Proulx’s previous short story collection Heart Songs was universally acclaimed: ‘A shining collection…a polished, unflinching work.’ (The Times).
The new collection includes Brokeback Mountain, the highly-acclaimed and award-winning tale set in the beautiful, wild landscape of Wyoming where cowboys live as they have done for generations. Also included is the story The Mud Below that reveals the world of the rodeo, buckle bunnies and the quiet ambition of the boy who gives up everything to ride bulls.
Remarkable and memorable, these new short stories will confirm Annie Proulx’s status as one of the great story-tellers of our times.

Annie Proulx is the author of nine books, including the novel The Shipping News, Barkskins and the story collection Close Range. Her many honors include a Pulitzer Prize, a National Book Award, the Irish Times International Fiction Prize, and a PEN/Faulkner award. Her story ‘Brokeback Mountain,’ which originally appeared in The New Yorker, was made into an Academy Award-winning film. She lives in New Hampshire.
The wild country – indigo jags of mountain, grassy plain everlasting, tumbled stones like fallen cities, the flaring roll of sky – provokes a spiritual shudder. It is like a deep note that cannot be heard but is felt, it is like a claw in the gut.'
From the author of the bestselling novels The Shipping News and Accordion Crimes comes a collection of short stories inspired by the harsh and unforgiving landscape of Wyoming. Here are men and women struggling to make a life and a living against the backdrop of a 'dangerous and indifferent ground' that seems to confound them at every turn.
