Title: So near, and yet ...
Review: Annie Proulx has the ability to paint images with words that most artists and photographers can only dream of doing in their media. This fact alone makes her book an enjoyable read by anyone who reads a lot. Unfortunately, imagery is about all there is to recommend Bad Dirt: Wyoming Stories 2. The narratives tend to drag in many of the stories, in others the author has trouble getting the suspension of belief she seems to be looking for. All in all, for this reader at least, a major disappointment. For readers who have enjoyed other works by Proulx, I wouldn't recommend reading this one.
