About the Author:
‘Proulx is at home in natural surroundings; her gift for description is both taut and unlavish and she shows the true countryman’s respect for hunter and hunted alike. Her people are alive; the domestic detail as sharply defined as in a Dutch genre painting.’ Evening Standard
‘The distinguishing ingredient that makes Proulx such a tonic is her passion for language…Her descriptive skill is both intriguing and economical.’ Independent on Sunday
‘Proulx’s descriptive power is such that when you’re not laughing or cringing, you're gasping with envy.’ Independent
‘Proulx’s prose is monumental.’ Observer
‘America’s most impressive new novelist…matchlessly capturing the rewards and rigours of life in the rural remoteness of America’s far north-east, the stories in “Heart Songs” focus on characters almost elementally close to harsh landscapes and hard ways of life.’ Sunday Times
Annie Proulx's books include the novel ‘The Shipping News’ and the story collection ‘Fine Just the Way It Is’. 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 Wyoming.
