I like this one.
There was a documentary on Annie Prolux on her novel 'That old Ace in the Hole';
; where she visited all these weird little places in the Texas panhandle. Amongst them there were green and verdant towns that I would never expect to see in Texas.
I actually recommend 'That old ace in the hole' over her more well known books 'The Shipping news' or the gay cowboys eating pudding romp 'Brokeback Mountain'.
She really embeds herself in the stories she writes, living in a place for up to three years learning all about it before putting pen to paper. Her work really evokes places and people that you and I will never have the privilege of seeing but through her writing, feel we know.
