Status Updates From Close Range: Wyoming Stories

A Lonely Coast: la amé a la narradora

‘Men had that flaw in them, Inez thought, to go over the cliff of events and fall precipitously into moral ruin.’

Pair a Spurs: ok es El señor de los anillos western

These are such vivid bitesized stories and world. Gahddamn. I skipped to the end for Brokeback Mountain first, but all the other stories are about as fantastic !

The Bunchgrass Edge of the World: un personaje se llama Aladdin?!

diamond felts is such a classic Annie proulx character and im so attached to him

People in Hell Just Want a Drink of Water: cómo vas a terminar un cuento con "We are in a new millennium and such desperate things no longer happen. If you believe that you’ll believe anything".

The Blood Bay: hilarante

Job History: todo perfectamente resumido en el final "Nobody has time to listen to the news". El ciclo eterno de la economía que aplasta a la gente.

The Mud Below: me encantó, las descripciones me resultaron clarísimas, montar toros como deporte/entretenimiento me parece fascinante, lo único que no me gustó es que hay una escena de violación, pero tiene sentido y no es demasiado gráfica

The Half-Skinned Steer: me costó un poco seguirlo al principio pero me gustó, el final es muy inquietante y amo cómo escribe Annie Proulx

From anyone who’s only seen the film “Brokeback Mountain,” let me assure you that the short story is just as devastating. (Yes, I read the last story in this collection first.)
