Fine Just The Way It Is: Wyoming Stories

Waterstones Product Information
You save: £2.00 The fantastic new collection of stories from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'The Shipping News' and 'Brokeback Mountain'. 'Fine Just The Way It Is' marks Annie Proulx's return to the Wyoming of 'Brokeback Mountain' and the familiar cast of hardy, unsentimental prairie folk. The stories are cast over centuries, and capture the voices and lives of the settlers this sagebrushed and weatherworn country has known, from the native Indian tribes to the modern day ranch owners and politicians, and their cowboy forebears. In 'A Family Man', an old man nearing the end of his life unburdens himself of the weighty family secrets that were his father's unwelcome legacy. 'Them Old Cowboy Songs' follows Archie and Rosie, a young pioneer couple, and their hardships in their attempt to homestead in the exposed wintry expanses of the prairie, and 'Testimony of the Donkey' finds a young international couple, Marc and Caitlin, struggling with much more modern concerns, and confronting uncertainty as their relationship comes to its end. These are stories of desperation and hard times, often marked by an inescapable sadness, set in a landscape both brutal and magnificent.Enlivened by folk tales, flights of fancy, and details of ranch and rural work, they juxtapose Wyoming's traditional character and attitudes -- confrontation of tough problems, prejudice, persistence in the face of difficulty -- with the more benign values of the new west. These are bold, elegant and memorable pieces, and once more confirm Annie Proulx as one of the most talented, unique short story writers in the language.

Morgans New York

Morgans New York

Onhotels.com Product Information
Country:United States City:New York - NY The Morgans New York hotel is located in the Murray hill area, one block from the JP Morgan library, convenient to shopping, theatre, entertainment, museums and nightlife. The turn-of-the-century building is grand from the outside, with its Beaux-Arts limestone facade, but inside is smaller and less intimidating than Morgans Hotel Groups' other hotels. The small lobby resembles a slightly updated, but very tasteful mansion living room: leather armchairs, 1920's nickel lamps, and Parisian flea market cane tables. There's also an M.C. Escher carpet and Japanese paper screens but the feeling is old-fashioned formal. The rooms are stylish with a clean, contemporary feel. Guests enjoy low profile beds, down pillows and comforters, fine Oxford bed linens, distinctive maple furnishings and upholstered window seats. Bathrooms are modestly sized and tiled in black and white checks, while bedrooms are a calming caramel, ivory and pale gold. The fabrics provide an unexpected tingle, corduroy armchairs, suede banquettes and silk lampshades. If you are hungry for a bit of outrageous style, eat at the hotel's restaurant where you'll find massive expanses of white marble, the "make new friends" communal table, and motel-style waterfall mural. The cuisine is described as New York-innovative pan-Asian, with a dash of Caribbean flair. The hotel is perfect for those with a bit of patience, who want a taste of New York, an exceedingly handsome atmosphere, but with just a bit of nostalgia for what they have left behind. No pets allowed in the hotel. Please be aware that each individual guest will be responsible for incidental charges to be paid upon departure. To guarantee these charges, the hotel requires credit card at time of check in. An authorization for a discretionary amount per day will be assessed for incidentals. The hotel will be unable to register any guest that is not able to provide sufficient credit to cover their charges upon arrival.
