not much

i was just wondering yesterday why no had spoken to annie proulx given the phenomenal success of brokeback mountain. well, i was poking around on kottke.org today and noticed–hey, someone has! if you havent read any of annie proulx’s books, i highly recommend them. michelle gave me a copy of postcards when it first came out, maybe when i went to italy for the year? whatever, from there, i have gone on to read all of her books, in fact i would probably say she is the only contemporary writer i get excited about. except i dont think i liked the shipping news very much. she is such a terrific writer, her style is so rich but clean. my sister made the comment that proulx writes like a man, but i would add with the insight of a woman.
