The Shipping News

Annie Proulx

This darkly comic, wonderfully inventive novel transforms the lore of Newfoundland -- including shipwrecks, nautical knot-tying, horrid weather and family legend -- into a brilliant work of literature. Quoyle, a third-rate newspaper hack, is wrenched violently out of his workaday life when his two-timing wife meets her just desserts. An aunt convinces Quoyle and his two emotionally disturbed daughters to return with her to the starkly beautiful coastal landscape of their ancestral home in Newfoundland. Here, on desolate Quoyle's Point, in a house empty except for a few reminders of the family's unsavory past, the battered members of three generations try to rebuild their lives. A vigorous, jarring, and at times magical portrait of the contemporary family, The Shipping News enlightens readers to the powers of Proulx's storytelling genius and her expert evocation of time and place. She is truly one of the most gifted and original writers working today.

Postcards

Annie Proulx

E. Annie Proulx's first novel, POSTCARDS, winner of the 1993 Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction, tells the mesmerizing tale of Loyal Blood, who misspends a lifetime running from a crime so terrible that it renders him forever incapable of touching a woman.
Blood's odyssey begins in 1944 and takes him across the country from his hardscrabble Vermont hill farm to New York, across Ohio, Minnesota, and Montana to British Columbia, on to North Dakota, Wyoming, and New Mexico and ends, today, in California, with Blood homeless and near mad. Along the way, he must live a hundred lives to survive, mining gold, growing beans, hunting fossils and trapping, prospecting for uranium, and ranching. In his absence, disaster befalls his family; greatest among their terrible losses are the hard-won values of endurance and pride that were the legacy of farm people rooted in generations of intimacy with soil, weather, plants, and seasons.
POSTCARDS chronicles the lives of the lives of the rural and the dispossessed and charts their territory with the historical verisimilitude and writerly prowess of Cather, Dreiser, and Faulkner. It is a new American classic.

Accordion Crimes

Annie Proulx

Rarely has a literary novel so captured the hearts and minds of readers across America and the world as E. Annie Proulx's THE SHIPPING NEWS, winner of the National Book Award, the Chicago Tribune Heartland Award, the Irish Times International Fiction Prize, and the Pulitzer Prize. Now we have Proulx's new novel, ACCORDION CRIMES, a masterpiece of storytelling that spans a century and a continent.ACCORDION CRIMES opens in 1890 in Sicily as an accordion maker completes his finest instrument--nineteen polished bone buttons, sleek lacquer--and dreams of owning a music store in America. He and his eleven-year-old son, carrying little more than the green accordion, voyage to the teeming, violent port of New Orleans. Within a year, the accordion maker is murdered by an anti-Italian lynching mob, but his instrument carries Proulx's story into another community of immigrants, the German Americans, founding a town in Iowa. Again, the accordion is witness to an astonishing array of tales as Beutle, Messermacher, Loats and their families make and lose fortunes in the new land.The little green accordion falls into the hands of various immigrants who carry it from Iowa to Texas, from Maine to Louisiana, looking for a decent life. Descendants of Mexicans, Africans, Poles, Germans Norwegians, Irish, Basques and Franco-Canadians, they work their way into a harshly racist American culture at the cost of their identity, language and traditions. The music of the accordion is their last link with the past--voice for their fantasies, sorrows and exuberance--but it, too, is forced to change.Proulx's prodigious knowledge, her heartbreaking characters and her daring storytelling unite the sections of ACCORDION CRIMES. And it is the almost hallucinatory power of her language, the radiance of her sentences, that confirm her genius. ACCORDION CRIMES is a stunning novel, exhilarating in its scope and originality.

Treadwell: Photographs

Annie Proulx; Andrea Modica

Andrea Modica is one of the most accomplished and critically acclaimed young photographers to emerge in the last five years. Treadwell is Modica's first major published collection - a rich, empathetic, and often wrenching study of small town family life in upstate New York. Focusing on one young girl and her extended clan of family and friends, with whom Modica forged a ten-year relationship, the images in Treadwell express pathos and humanity without sentimentality or spectacle. Including 40 exquisite duotone photographs and an essay by Pulitzer prize-winning writer E. Annie Proulx, this seminal work makes a distinguished contribution to the visual chronicle of human experience in the twentieth century.
