The Wyoming Stories are three collections of short fiction set in the American West. Close Range (1999), Bad Dirt (2004), and Fine Just the Way It Is (2008) each contain stories about the people who live and work in Wyoming’s unforgiving landscape.
Proulx writes about ranchers, rodeo riders, and small-town residents with an unflinching eye. The stories are often harsh but always honest, and the Wyoming landscape is as much a character as any of the people in them.
