Close Range by Annie Proulx

I just finished "Close Range", a book of short stories by Annie Proulx. If you're not familiar with her work, one of her short stories, entitled "Brokeback Mountain" was made into a film. If you're not familiar with the film, you need to see that as well. I highly recommend the book... if you've never dabbled in short stories, they're sort of nice to have on subways/trains/etc. where you have limited reading time.
