Title: Horrible! Just Horrible...
Review: The characters are one dimensional, the plot lines meander and go no where, and the narration is tedious to the point of insanity. Wyoming is a wild and beautiful place, but her descriptions are as evocative as a suburban shopping mall. The only reason this book was published is because some of Proulx's other books have been commercial successes. The only good thing about this book is that I didn't pay for it. If you want great short stories, check out Tobias Wolff, Raymond Carver, Richard Ford, etc. Leave this one on the bargain table where it belongs.
