Annie Proulx Books in Order

A short, hands-on guide to homemade cider, from choosing apples and equipment to pressing juice and getting good results. It is aimed at beginners who want to make fresh cider as simply as possible.

A practical growing guide for cooks and home gardeners, focused on fruits and vegetables worth eating fresh from the ground. Proulx mixes usable advice with an eye for flavor, season, and the pleasures of a well-run kitchen garden.

Proulx's first collection gathers stories set largely in rural New England, where farmers, hunters, families, and newcomers grind against one another. The book already shows her feel for hard weather, local speech, and lives under pressure.

After killing his sweetheart in a terrible accident, Loyal Blood flees his Vermont farm and spends decades drifting across America. His wandering story, and the story of the family he left behind, becomes a bleak portrait of loss and change.

After his wife's death, Quoyle leaves New York with his daughters and aunt for the Newfoundland home of his ancestors. Working at a local paper, he slowly begins to rebuild himself while family secrets and harsh weather close in.

A green accordion passes from one owner to another, linking immigrant lives across America over many decades. As the instrument travels, Proulx builds a restless, tragic novel about music, migration, and what people carry from the old world.

Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist meet while tending sheep on a Wyoming mountain and form a bond that outlasts the summer. Over the years they try to hold onto that love in a world built to deny it.

These Wyoming stories are full of ranchers, rodeo riders, troublemakers, and people living far from comfort. The collection includes Brokeback Mountain and shows Proulx at her sharpest on loneliness, violence, weather, and desire.

Bob Dollar, a young scout for a giant hog company, comes to the Texas Panhandle looking for land to buy. What starts as a sales job turns into a close look at local history, eccentric people, and the cost of changing a place.

This published screenplay adapts Proulx's novel for film, following Quoyle as he returns with his family to Newfoundland after personal disaster. It offers a different angle on the same story of grief, secrecy, and renewal.

The second Wyoming collection returns to small towns, bars, ranches, and back roads where people are boxed in by money trouble, loneliness, and stubbornness. Proulx mixes dark humor with sudden violence and a strong feel for western life.

Contains the Academy Award-winning screenplay by McMurtry and Diana Ossana, along with the original short story by Annie Proulx and essays on the film's creation.

Edited by Annie Proulx, this tribute to Robert F. Jones gathers his stories, photographs, and remembrances from fellow writers. It is part anthology, part portrait of a difficult, admired outdoor writer and the world he moved through.

In this third Wyoming collection, Proulx writes about veterans, ranch families, drifters, and other people trying to keep going in a hard country. The stories are funny, bleak, and sharply alive to pride, grief, and bad luck.

Part memoir and part natural history, this book follows Proulx as she builds a house on 640 acres above Wyoming's North Platte River. The story widens into family history, archaeology, weather, and the fierce pull of a particular place.

With Lew Nichols, Proulx offers a practical guide to making, using, and enjoying sweet and hard cider. It covers apples, presses, fermentation, and recipes in a straightforward, hands-on style.

This richly illustrated nonfiction book explores Wyoming's Red Desert through geology, wildlife, history, archaeology, and photography. Proulx and her collaborators show both the region's beauty and the damage threatened by energy development.

An epic historical novel that begins in seventeenth-century New France and follows the families of René Sel and Charles Duquet across three centuries of logging, empire, ambition, and environmental ruin. It is deeply rooted in the fate of the forests.

Proulx turns to environmental nonfiction to trace the long destruction of wetlands and explain why peatlands matter to the climate. It is a compact, urgent history of fens, bogs, swamps, and the cost of treating them as wasteland.
