American author Annie Proulx’s landmark short story collection includes Brokeback Mountain alongside other stories of living and ranching in the American West. Close Range epitomizes Proulx’s spare and sympathetic writing, reflecting the locations she writes about. This first printing is accompanied by beautiful watercolour illustrations by William Matthews, unusual for a mass-market hypermodern first edition for adult readers. Proulx won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for The Shipping News.
