Media Reviews
"Proulx doesn't merely tell her stories or participate in them, but convinces you with every word."
-- Los Angeles Times
"Proulx's stories are most compelling when they're rooted in a coarse rural sexuality. At these times, their sometimes enigmatic, often lyrical images seem to complement New England's lavish but barren beauty."
-- New York Times

Publisher's Notes
Before she wrote her Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller The Shipping News, E. Annie Proulx was already producing some of the finest short fiction in the country. Here are her collected stories, including two new works never before anthologized. These stories reverberate with rural tradition, the rites of nature, and the rituals of small-town life. The country is blue-collar New England; the characters are native families and the dispossessed working class, whose heritage is challenged by the neorural bourgeoisie from the city; and the themes are as elemental as the landscape: revenge, malice, greed, passion. Told with skill and profundity and crafted by a master storyteller, these are lean, tough tales of an extraordinary place and its people.

Mama Rocks the Empty Cradle
by Nora Deloach
Mamas back on the case, sniffing out dark, tragic secrets...and a killer.Not much happens in Otis, South Carolina (pop. 5,000) that Mama, a caseworker for the Department of Social Services, doesnt know about. Mamas given name is Grace Covington, but everyone calls her Candi--for the honeyed color of her complexion, not her cooking (which is second to none from Otis all the way to Atlanta, where I work as a paralegal). I usually go home when I need some truly soul-satisfying eating. But this time I was heading back to Otis to help Mama after her bunion operation. I had no idea wed end up knee-deep in somebody elses trouble....It all seemed to start when Mama and I were shopping for groceries and crazy old Miss Birdie stole Cricket Childs tiny baby, causing a scene between the two women everyone in town heard about. It wasnt twenty-four hours later that Cricket, known as a lady who liked wild times and wilder men, turned up murdered in a fellows bed. Even worse, Crickets baby had vanished.To add to the chilling events, my Daddys wandering dog Midnight dug up something shocking: an infants skull. And not long after Mama rushed it over to Sheriff Abes office, Midnight brought home another. Naturally, he couldnt tell us where he got them...and the mystery deepened.So no way Mama wasnt going to start snooping. And with the doctor ordering her off her feet, I ended up doing some legwork. But its a good thing I still had two good feet, because before long, I was running for my life...as babies cries and women's tears mingled in a crime fueled by motives as ancient as human memory--greed, jealousy, and old-fashioned revenge.In Mama Rocks the Empty Cradle, Nora DeLoach captures the warmth of family life in the deep South...and the icy tingling of superb suspense. And in Mama she has created a woman sleuth as filled with compassion as courage, wise in the ways of the human heart--and the criminal mind.

Heart Songs and Other Stories
Proulx, Annie
New York: Scribner. March 17, 1995. Paperback. Very Good. Downtrodden country folk in New England are at the heart and soul of this c ompilation of 11 short stories. The stories focus on rural activities (hunt ing or fishing) and sometimes delve into class differences between the poor townspeople and the rich outsiders. Although the subject matter may not ap peal to every reader, the stories flow effortlessly and the prose is elegan t. In "Heart Songs," Snipe pursues a calling in country music while recogni zing in himself "a secret wish to step off into some abyss of bad taste and moral sloth." The author refers to another character as "thin as a folded dollar bill, her hand as narrow and cold as a trout." Proulx creates vivid characters with a clever turn of phrase or an illuminating analogy. This co llection, initially published in 1988, includes two new short stories: "A C ountry Killing" and "Negatives." ( more information) Offered by Infinity Books Japan (Japan)
