Writing a Great American Novel would seem impossible. But E. Annie Proulx… has come close in her first novel, Postcards… This novel is no mere morality tale, but rather a meaty stew of archetypal plots and characters, their juices mingled in defiance of convention… Story makes this novel compelling; technique makes it beautiful. What makes Postcards significant is that Ms. Proulx uses both story and technique to make real the history of post-World War II America” (New York Times). Proulx’s first novel won the PEN/Faulkner award for 1993.
Ships promptly in a corrugated mailer with book wrapped in both craft paper and multiple layers of bubble wrap.
