The Seattle Arts & Lecture’s season opener is Annie Proulx, the author of the short story Brokeback Mountain, at Benaroya Hall on October 7 at 7:30pm.
“Through a sequence of vividly imagined and boldly idiosyncratic works of fiction—Heart Songs and Other Stories (1988), Postcards (1992), Accordion Crimes (1996), Close Range: Wyoming Stories (1999), That Old Ace in the Hole (2002), and Bad Dirt: Wyoming Stories 2 (2004)—Proulx has explored rural America in extremis with an admirable passion and patience for research of all kinds, both scholarly and reportorial.”
— Joyce Carol Oates
