BARKSKINS Annie Proulx Paperback RRP $ 32.99 16th June release, advance orders welcome

In the seventeenth century two Frenchmen, René Sel and Charles Duquet, arrive in New France and become wood-cutters – barkskins. Proulx tells the stories of the descendants of Sel and Duquet over three hundred years – their travels across North America, to Europe, China, and New Zealand; the revenge of rivals; accidents; pestilence and cultural annihilation. Over and over again, they seize what they can of a presumed infinite resource, leaving the modern-day characters face to face with possible ecological collapse. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Annie Proulx is the author of eight books, including the novel The Shipping News and the story collection Close Range. Her many honours include a Pulitzer Prize, a National Book Award, the Irish Times International Fiction Prize, and a PEN/ Faulkner award. Her story Brokeback Mountain, which originally appeared in The New Yorker, was made into an Academy Award-winning film. She lives in Seattle.
