Fine Just the Way It Is: Wyoming Stories. Annie Proulx

by Annie Proulx

Overview

'Fine Just The Way It Is' returns to the familiar cast of the hardy, unsentimental prairie folk that made up the Wyoming stories of 'Bad Dirt' and 'Close Range'. These nine stories roam over centuries, capturing the voices and lives of the settlers of this sage-brushed and weatherworn country.
