In 1975, Ms. Proulx became a
journalist
, after not finding a suitable teaching postion. And we are glad she did start writing, turning out fiction as well as journalistic pieces.

Alma was

Mrs. Twist had preserved Jack's bedroom like a
museum
...
"the narrow boy's bed against the wall, an ink-stained desk and wooden chair, a b.b. gun in a hand-whittled rack over the bed."

ENNIS'S co-worker (on asphalt job) , TIMMY, a fat, bespectacled, annoyingly loquacious middle-aged man with a bad case of
plumber's
butt, works alongside him. Talks incessantly.
