Annie Proulx is an American novelist and short-story writer, author of The Shipping News and the short story Brokeback Mountain.

Born 1935. Winner of major literary awards for The Shipping News; Brokeback Mountain was adapted into an acclaimed film.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Annie Proulx's late-blooming novelist voice: dry, sharp, ironic but capable of lyricism. The Shipping News is lauded for its setting-driven, choral storytelling in Newfoundland. That Old Ace in the Hole is celebrated for its Panhandle portrait, memorable characters, and fable-like qualities.

For:Readers of literary fiction; Americana enthusiasts; fans of character-driven novels.

 Annie Proulx as a novelist "begins" at more than fifty years old, after decades of journalism and brief occasional publications, and this maturity, let's call it that, shines through masterfully in her writing style, that unmistakable combination of irony and empathy, the dry, sharp style but capable of "opening up" in moments of touching lyricism, when necessary.
