Annie Proulx’s standalone novels span decades and cover a wide range of American experience. Postcards (1991) was her debut, The Shipping News (1993) brought her national recognition, and Barkskins (2016) traces three centuries of North American deforestation through two families.
Each novel is rooted in a specific place and time, with Proulx’s sharp prose and deep knowledge of rural life giving even her most ambitious work a grounded, lived-in quality.
