Who is a fan of Annie Proulx?

Katie,
Can you post a link to where Annie said this? I can see that she might want to move on in the sense of writing new things. And from what I understand, she is private and a bit shy, so the fame and notoriety that came along with Brokeback may make her uncomfortable. The idea of 'distancing' herself, though, sounds a bit unappreciative, so I'd like to read the whole piece to see it in context.

P.S. The 'merge' option is a moderator-only function, so you didn't do anything wrong!

Lynne, I was quoting from a thread which is in the same forum as this one, I met Annie Proulx tonight 9/12/06
Maybe you can ask more about it there......
Amber:
I had not read anything by Annie Proulx before "Brokeback Mountain". I have yet to read any of her novels and have so far just stuck with her short stories which I really enjoy. I've read "Bad Dirt 2" and "Close Range" and thought both were a very unique compilation of stories.
As for distancing herself ... I don't know???? Perhaps what she said is not what she intended to say. Or maybe she really is willing to pickup and never look back, I can't see how ... but then again I'm not her either. I'll have to take a look at that thread!
