Book Reviews of Bad Dirt: Wyoming Stories 2
Book Review: Funny thing, I just bought it
Summary: 1 Stars
but I haven't read it yet. I bought and read the first Wyoming collection, and I've read a few other Proulx stories in The New Yorker. I think I know what I'll find in "Bad Dirt."
I was born and grew up in Wyoming, in the Goose Creek valley east of the Big Horns, a region that's been compared to the Vale of Kashmir for its complex beauty. (I suspect that's an exaggeration, although it was made by a person who'd been to both places. I hope to go to the Vale someday, and judge for myself.) Many other parts of Wyoming are beautiful, terrible, and strange. I don't recognize find many -- or any! -- of them in Annie Proulx. Neither do I recognize the rather austere and capable people I grew up with among her rural grotesques. (They make me think of Richard Russo's laughably unlikely characters in his Gloversville novels.) I guess city folks like to imagine rural people that way. Annie gives 'em what they want.
I should mention that I bought "Bad Dirt" off a remainders pile for $5.98US.
