Review title: Proulx's writing is superb, but most characters are losers.
Product review: If you like stories about deteriorating human lives that leave nothing in their wakes then you'll like "Close Range". I'm an avid Proulx fan, but I got a little tired of the "no hope" situations played out over and over in these stories.I can't seem to stay away from her vivid images though. Pictures are painted that call up the exact smells and sounds of all the characters' pathetic adventures throughout. You'll think you are there--disgusted and morbidly curious at the same time.
