Annie Proulx is one of the most respected American writers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Her fiction is rooted in place, often set in the rural landscapes of New England, Wyoming, and Newfoundland, where the land shapes the people who live on it as much as any human influence.
Her novels include The Shipping News (1993), which won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, and Barkskins (2016), a sprawling novel about deforestation spanning three centuries. Her short story Brokeback Mountain became one of the most talked-about films of 2005. Proulx has also written nonfiction about gardening, cider-making, and the environment.
