Here are her collected stories, including two new works never before anthologized. These stories reverberate with rural tradition, the rites of nature, and the rituals of small town life. The country is blue collar New England; the characters are native families and the dispossessed working class, whose heritage is challenged by the neorural bourgeoisie from the city; and the themes are as elemental as the landscape: revenge, malice, greed, passion. Told with skill and profundity and crafted by a master storyteller, these are lean, tough tales of an extraordinary place and its people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnie Proulx is the author of eleven books, including the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Shipping News, Accordion Crimes\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBarkskins\u003c\/i\u003e, and the story collection \u003ci\u003eClose Range\u003c\/i\u003e.
