06/04/2003 Archived Entry: "Annie Proulx convert"
After years of Bob's exhortations that I read Annie Proulx, I finally got around to one of her books. I'm about halfway through "That Old Ace in the Hole" and I am a convert. Her prose has a poet's precision, and she can tell you everything you need to know about a character with one well chosen sentence. I love how unadorned her writing is, too. It feels as natural as breath.
Next up:Wyoming Tales.
And how the hell do you say this woman's name? Prool? Prowl? Help!

I think it's Prool. Not certain, though. She is an incredible writer. I also recommend Accordion Crimes. Actually, I recommend anything she's written.
