| P.S. Annie Proulx has been contributing stories to The New Yorker for nearly three decades. “What Kind of Furniture Would Jesus Pick?,” from 2003, has all the hallmarks of her work: curious names, evocative prose, local flavor. It tells the tale of Budgel Wolfscale, who, in 1898, “built a shotgun cabin of hauled-out lodgepole, married one of the girls from a whorehouse in Ham’s Fork, and, naming the ranch after the harp his mother had played, thought himself a Wyoming rancher.” 🐴 |
